University students' sexual orientation, contraception and toxic skin bleaching products.
نویسنده
چکیده
What we now see is that sexual orientation is a real issue that cannot be swept under the carpet, nor can we bury our heads in the sand and become the proverbial ostrich. The authors set out to determine the pattern of sexual orientation and relationship between sexual orientation and quality of life among University students in Nigeria. They found that 0.1% of the students self identified as gay/lesbian. Almost 12% reported varying degrees of attraction to the opposite gender. Those who self identified as gay/lesbian had a lower average score on all domains of the WHO QOL BREF. You need to read details of their seminal paper.
