Description |
This longitudinal study of both partners from gay and lesbian couples began in 1990, with additional data collection occurring in 1991, 1992, and 1993. The initial data collection involved 75 gay and 51 lesbian couples who lived together without children. They were recruited from requests for participants published in gay/lesbian periodicals and newsletters as well as through the personal recommendations of partners already participating. Some of the couples (41 gay and 21 lesbian) participated in the 1989 data collection from a previous project. All surveys were sent by mail and were returned in separate postage-paid envelopes for each partner.
