Abstract

We used 2001-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to examine insurance status, source of routine care, cigarette and alcohol use, and self-rated health among lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women who have sex with women, compared with heterosexual women who do not have sex with women. We found higher risks of being uninsured among lesbian and bisexual women, worse self-rated health among bisexual women, higher alcohol use among bisexual and heterosexual women who have sex with women, and higher smoking across all subgroups.

  • Both WSW and WSWM experience barriers to care, especially Black WSW and WSWM.

    “and both WSW and WSWM experience barriers to care, especially Black WSW and WSWM (289,290).”

    From Sexually Transmitted Infections Treatment Guidelines, 2021 (2021) · cites this paper as [289]

    The Results and Discussion report greater risk of being uninsured among lesbian and bisexual women, and less access to routine care among lesbian women. But the paper does not separately assess women who have sex with both women and men (WSWM) or report that barriers are especially pronounced among Black WSW or WSWM; race was an adjustment variable, not a reported subgroup finding.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
