Abstract:
When a sociologist conducting a qualitative study about social support and ovarian cancer, she interviews a participant who says she does not feel supported in the group because of her social orientation. The sociologist had promised all participants that their responses would be confidential, but would like to share this woman's experience with hospital staff to try and help improve the support received by gay patients.
