In this article, we draw upon our experiences conducting health-related studies with sexual minorities to suggest guidelines and best-practices for carrying out research among bisexual populations specifically. Too often bisexuality has been treated as "noise in the data," because it does not conform to monosexual notions of sexual orientation. We discuss methodological, theoretical and conceptual concerns as they pertain to conducting research among bisexual persons. We hope that the insights we offer will prompt greater attention to bisexual groups and their specific concerns, not only among health researchers, but among those from other fields and disciplines as well.
在本文中，我们借鉴了在性少数群体中开展健康相关研究的经验，提出了在双性恋人群中开展研究的指导方针和最佳实践。双性恋常常被视为“数据中的噪音”，因为它不符合单性恋对性取向的概念。我们讨论了与在双性恋者中开展研究相关的方法、理论和概念问题。我们希望我们提供的见解将促使更多人关注双性恋群体及其具体问题，不仅在健康研究人员中，而且在其他领域和学科的人员中也是如此。
