currently collecting data for their dissertation on mental health care amongst trans and gender-diverse folks.

 In brief, we're asking TGD folks to join a Zoom call with one of our trained assistants for 1.5 to 2 hours to complete several surveys online. We pay all participants $20. During the session, individuals are asked to fill out a series of self-report surveys. These sessions have minimal risk, do not include audio or video recording, and all personal information is confidential.   

We would like to know more about you and your experiences with obtaining (or your desire to obtain) gender-affirming care. Survey data will be collected through a secure survey tool, Qualtrics. Completing the survey should take 30 minutes of your time.The survey will close on Saturday, August 12th, 2023, at 11:59 pm CT.

Eligibility: 

• You want to pursue, are pursuing, or have pursued gender-affirming care

• You must live in a U.S. state or territory

• You must be 18 years or older

When you complete the survey, you will have the option of entering your e-mail address into a drawing where you could win one of eight $100 electronic gift cards for an online retailer. You may choose to forfeit your entry in the drawing and instead elect to have $1 donated to the Kind Clinic, a non-profit dedicated to providing free gender-affirming care services. The odds of winning the drawing are 1 in approximately 185.

 We are conducting research interviews with people who identify as cisgender or transgender men, have (or have had) sex with men, and are ages 40 or above. The purpose of our study is to understand how digital technologies -- and specifically dating applications -- shape people's experiences with sex and sexual identity. Although there is some research that explains the role digital technologies play in sexuality and sexual identities, participants of these studies are largely in their 20s and 30s. The dearth of perspectives from older adults in this literature means we know little about how technologies inform sexuality and sexual identities throughout the life course. Our study aims to uplift the voices of older men who have sex with men and their experiences using digital dating applications. 

Enrolling in the study means participating in a one-time, virtual (on Zoom, Facetime, phone, etc.), informal conversation about your life experiences, sexual and romantic experiences, and experiences with using dating applications. All participants will receive a $25 gift card as a thank you for their participation
