TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Gay Youth: More visible but fewer problems? JO - Journal of gay and lesbian social services A1 - Alexander, C.J. SP - 113 EP - 117 VL - 11 IS - 4 N2 - In recent years there has been a growing awareness among parents and social service professionals of the complex sexual identity development of adolescents. Despite this, adolescents continue to struggle to define their sexual identity. Gay and lesbian adolescents in particular are at risk for a host of problems, including substance abuse and suicide. In this context it is important for social service researchers to study adolescent sexual identity and to report their findings in such a way as to be accessible to professionals and to the public. © 2000 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
