Regular depression screening is recommended for all adults. Using a clinical vignette, the sexuality Implicit Association Test (IAT), and measures of explicit bias, this study examined the relationship of primary care providers' (PCP) bias towards lesbian women and recommendations for depression screening. Providers who recommended screening showed slightly more positive explicit attitudes and slightly lower, though not statistically significant, implicit bias towards lesbian women. However, recommendation rates among all providers were low, at only 38%.
