Sunday October 11, 2015 - Interesting Study

One way in which Transpeople who are still private (closet) can help our community is to participate in anonymous research studies. Accurate data is needed to assist in telling the greater community about us. An earlier post about academic studies.

I recently (June 2015) participated in a study. Below is a call for Transpeople 50 years of age and older to participate in an anonymous study about positive physical and mental health outcomes.

Please read the requirements below and think about participating. I have included additional links so that you can complete additional research about the Doctors involved and their organizations.
