Researching my Research Topic

• What knowledge did you gain about your topic as a result of the research you've
conducted so far?
First off, my topic is SO narrow and it was impossible (literally) to find a reference that had both 'LGBT Youth, Eating Disorders' keywords while searching through the eLibrary that we were required to get at least one source from. However, I have learned more static information that I can rely on, such as statistics, surveys, and experiments. Though, with not being able to work too many references, it is limited information. Luckily, the references have no repeating information.

• What new search strategies did you use to locate your sources?
I attempted to use all of the search engines that were recommend for getting the at least one required reference...and it did not turn out so well.  Most articles were either only about eating disorders, or only about the hardships of LGBT youth. Which, although informative, not exactly what I needed. Perhaps I should broaden my topic to simply, relationship between mental disorders and LGBT Youth?

• What specific aspect of your topic do you want to research further?
I actually may want to take a step back from my topic so that I can research more. I don't really want to though, since I feel like addressing mental disorders and/or hardships experienced by LGBT youth is a pretty well known characteristic when talking about the LGBT community in general. Perhaps I could still make it my 'own' by only focusing on psychological disorders that happens due to being bullied, ostracized, etc. However, I feel like this information can be applied to almost all minority groups and probably depends on where the surveys are being taken as well, such as inner cities vs. rural towns.
