Together We Thrive: A research study exploring health self-management among Black transgender women who have survived violence and/or discrimination

The following questionnaire will ask a series of questions to see if you qualify to participate in our study. This study is focused on identifying pathways to health following exposure to violence and discrimination among Black transgender women. Some questions on this survey may be triggering or cause an emotional response. For immediate assistance please call the Trevor Project Crisis Hotline at 1-866-488-7386. You can also reach this survey administrator at (678)-615-8820.

Study Purpose: to advance our understanding of how stigma relates to symptoms of stress and how that may influence health self-management among Black transgender women.

Benefits to Participation: all participants will receive a list of available local/national health and safety resources and may experience direct benefits from participating in the intervention. Participants may benefit directly by sharing their stories and indirectly by being involved with health professionals in an important study and the potential to be involved in a process that may provide future benefit to other Black transgender women. Participation in the study will include 1 survey and the possibility to participate in 1 individual interview. Get paid for your participation.
