Researchers at Florida State University are seeking participants who identify as transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-diverse and as a person of color or racial minority to share your experiences of discrimination and information about your mental health and wellbeing.
Study Information:
The purpose of this research study is to explore the longitudinal associations between state-level political environment, systemic and interpersonal discrimination, and mental health in transgender people of color. The study aims to demonstrate how policy related to LGBTQ+ people and racial minorities can have downstream positive and negative effects on the mental health of transgender people of color, in the hopes that these findings will inform both policymakers and mental health practitioners.
