关于行为双性恋男性的社区参与和社会支持的研究有限。先前的研究表明，双性恋男性在异性恋和同性恋社区环境中都经历了高水平的社会耻辱。以社会支持为重点的研究表明，与相似的人接触有限的人出现负面健康结果的风险更大。采用基于社区的研究设计，在美国印第安纳州的印第安纳波利斯采用多种方法招募参与者。研究人员对75名男性进行了深入的半结构化访谈，这些男性报告在过去六个月内有过双性恋行为。访谈阐明了在异性恋和同性恋环境中的行为双性恋男性的经历，以及他们对双性恋社区或双性恋空间存在的看法。所有参与者都认为缺乏一个明显的双性恋社区，并表示在各种异性恋和同性恋社区空间中感到舒适或归属感困难。研究结果表明，需要采取干预措施，重点是社区建设，以及创造专门为双性恋男性设计的空间，以增加感知的社会支持，减少孤立和可能的负面健康结果。
Limited research exists regarding community involvement and social support among behaviourally bisexual men. Previous studies suggest that bisexual men experience high levels of social stigma in both heterosexual and homosexual community settings. Research focusing on social support has demonstrated that individuals with limited access to similar individuals experience greater risk for negative health outcomes. Using a community-based research design, participants were recruited using multiple methods in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Researchers conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 75 men who reported having engaged in bisexual behaviour within the past six months. Interviews elucidated the experiences of behaviourally bisexual men in heterosexual and homosexual settings, as well as their perceptions of the existence of a bisexual community or bisexual spaces. All participants perceived a lack of a visible bisexual community and expressed difficulty with being comfortable, or feeling belonging, within a variety of heterosexual and homosexual community spaces. Findings suggest the need for interventions focused on community building among, as well as creating spaces specifically designed for, bisexual men in order to increase perceived social support and decrease isolation and possible negative health outcomes.
