There is minimum risk with this study. The potential benefits of the study are gaining more understanding concerning discrimination in the workplace.
Complete Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria (may be submitted separately if extensive):
Participants who identify as LGB and have a bipolar disorder diagnosis will be recruited for participation in this study. Only persons eighteen and older will be considered for the study.
