Taking Bisexual Research to the Streets

Abstract

This chapter provides a detailed description of the methods used in the research and the rationale for doing so. It provides a rationale for using interview research, and our hypothesis that decreasing homophobia would influence bisexuals’ lives in diverse ways. The chapter describes the generational cohort design for participant recruitment, and discusses the innovative methods used to recruit participants from New York, Los Angeles, and London. It provides demographic details about the three age cohorts, and also the rationale for this including the relevance of data collection occurring metropolitan cities. The method for recruitment is then evaluated, as well as the processes for interview and analysis.
