Experience in LGBT2SQ research

More than 80 conference presentations. And more than 10 community-based research projects.

The methodology has been presented in Barcelona, Switzerland, and across Canada http://web.fhnw.ch/plattformen/sexualityandsocialworkconferences/conference-program/presentations/workshop2/presentation_gerardo_betancourt_SSW16.pdf
