Using a series of studies, the Lesbian Health Care Project of Western New York gathered region-specific information concerning lesbians' preferences and decision making. This article reports on community focus groups in which 33 working class, middle class, African American, young, and older lesbians, as well as lesbians who frequent bars, reported that decision making was based on their past experiences and their hopes for high quality care.
