33名年龄在18-68岁之间的女同性恋者作为受访者参加了这项定性的、产生理论的研究。通过书面人口统计调查问卷和深入的录音访谈获得数据。调查结果显示，两个阶段的基本社会过程（BSP）确定为个人风险，是由女同性恋者，以确保他们的身体和/或心理安全的医疗保健系统。在预期阶段，使用想象和认知策略来计算自我披露的风险，以确定披露的立场。在干预阶段，扫描和监控使女同性恋客户重新评估所采取的立场。这些数据证实，女同性恋者在许多医疗保健情况下感到不舒服，并建议提供者做出反应，以改善她们的舒适度和她们所获得的医疗保健水平。
Thirty three lesbians ranging in age from 18–68 participated as respondents in this qualitative, theory-generating study. Data were obtained through a written demographic questionnaire and in-depth taped interviews. Findings revealed a two-phase basic social process (BSP) identified as personal risking that is used by lesbians to secure their physical and/or psychological safety within the health care system. In the anticipatory phase, the risk of self-disclosure is calculated using both imaginative and cognitive strategies to determine a disclosure stance. In the interactional phase, scanning and monitoring enable the lesbian client to reevaluate the stance assumed. The data confirm that lesbians are uncomfortable in many health care situations and suggest provider responses to improve their comfort and the level of health care they receive.
