and lesbians can be assumed to form part of all populations, even where numbers of individuals or groups cannot be identified, and therefore all services should be responsive to the needs of the LGB population.
As well as recommendations for legislative and policy changes the Implementing Equality report makes the following recommendations on research:
• methods of research and monitoring of the relationship between sexual orientation and suicide in Ireland should be developed. The report called upon the National Suicide Review Group to establish the most appropriate mechanisms through which data, analysis and action can be developed;
• in education, a sexual orientation dimension should be included in all relevant future surveys, research and data collection by the Department of Education and when devising and implementing initiatives targeting early school leavers using appropriate and accurate data collection methods;
• the Higher Education Authority should support the development of scholarship and research into LGB history, culture and theory amongst institutions, faculties and students, expanding the number of PhD research projects and providing funding for the further development of courses on LGB issues. Research on LGB issues needs to be recognised as a legitimate academic pursuit and should be taken into account in staff recruitment and promotion;
• the National Health Promotion Strategy emphasises the need for research into the health and lifestyle behaviours of various groups to prioritise health promotion. A number of outstanding areas in relation to LGB health issues require urgent research: suicide, mental health strategy and psychological distress experienced by LGB people, substance and alcohol abuse, lesbian health needs, gay people with disabilities;
• some preliminary research and pilot development initiatives provide valuable contributions in raising awareness of the needs of LGB youth and designing responses appropriate to them; and
