Subject: Research Opportunity for Transgender and Gender Diverse Adults in Australia
Good afternoon!
My name is Alicia, and I am a psychology Honours student at La Trobe University who is collaborating on a trans research project with my research supervisors Tim and Chris, who are also cc'd into this email
I'm sharing an opportunity to participate in a research project being conducted by La Trobe University, which is currently recruiting participants for a longitudinal study focused on the health and well-being of trans and gender diverse adults in Australia.
This study aims to better understand experiences of stress, social connectedness, and support among trans and gender diverse adults in Australia, and how these experiences impact health and well-being over time. It involves completing annual surveys over a period of five years, with the potential to extend to ten years depending on funding and participant engagement.
Participant eligibility criteria:
- Identify as transgender or gender diverse
- Aged 18 years or older
- Reside in Australia
- Proficient in English
More information is available in the attached flyer, which includes a QR code linking to the Expression of Interest form.
You can also access the form directly here: https://redcap.latrobe.edu.au/redcap/surveys/?s=4J8MJKXFHJXWA97T
For those who complete this survey, a $10 donation (up to a maximum total of $2,000 for this survey) will be made by the study team to a trans health charity, Transcend Australia, supporting the well-being of trans and gender diverse children, young people, and their loved ones.
If you’re able to share this research opportunity with any individuals or networks who may be interested, it would be greatly appreciated!
* This study has been approved by the La Trobe University's Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number: HEC25199)
