University of West Georgia Survey of Same Sex Parents
Purpose of the Study & Information for You
The purpose of this study is to examine the lives of parents who were or are now part of a same-sex relationship. An important part of the project is determining how people feel about the identities and activities that are associated with being in these relationships. The information you provide today will help sociologists understand relationships among family members in a same-sex parental household.
The survey will take you approximately 15 minutes.
