Universities involved in research on the topics of gender and orientation generate public health knowledge about important life experiences, such as suicide and violence prevention, mental and physical health, stigma reduction, provider competency and readiness, as well as personal and family well-being.
In addition to contributing knowledge, some studies listed here may include additional benefits to participants, such as gift cards, complimentary counseling sessions, or transportation vouchers. Studies are managed by their respective universities, and are included here for community awareness and information purposes.
Currently, there are two research studies in the application stages with University of Miami which focus on family processes with gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth, and one potential pilot study with Florida International University on transgender youth and young adults.
