What works to reduce biphobia? A meta-analysis

What is it about?

We combined the results of previous studies that evaluated attempts to reduce prejudice against bisexual people and bisexuality. Evidence from 20 studies showed that past efforts to reduce antibisexual prejudice have had very limited success, with most studies finding little or no effect. The combination of multicultural education and contact was the most promising approach, but more work is needed to demonstrate reliable, robust reductions in antibisexual prejudice.

Why is it important?

Biphobia -- negative attitudes toward bisexual people and bisexuality -- is common in both heterosexual and lesbian/gay people. Our findings highlight the need for more, stronger interventions that demonstrably reduce this unique form of prejudice.
