Introduction to the special section on sexual and gender minority health.

The field of sexual and gender minority health has advanced exponentially in the past decade. The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (JCCP) has made important strides in publishing work on sexual and gender minority health. Although the following set of articles was not originally planned as a special section, most of the articles address, in some way, sexual and gender minority specific stressors such as perceived or overt stigma and/or the higher risk for emotional and substance use problems facing this population. Together, the papers in this section are models of some of the best work being conducted on sexual and gender minority health. Not only do they address significant problems, they do so in large, nonoverlapping samples, using novel and strong methodologies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
