Story here.

An estimated 70 percent of queer youth are not out to their doctors, despite being out to almost everyone else in their lives, including to some family members, according to a study released in December by the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, and the University of California, Los Angeles. The study surveyed 179 gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens who had attended a conference.

Bisexual youth were least likely to be out to their doctors and transgender youth were barely represented in the survey, so more research is needed to identify their health needs.
