Hello! We are researchers from Washington State University Psychology Department. We are conducting psychology research projects on sex education experiences and (1) attitudes that heterosexual students have toward LGBTQ+ individuals, (2) attitudes that LGBTQ+ students have about themselves, and (3) the well-being of transgender, gender non-binary, and gender non-conforming students. This research has been certified exempt for review by the WSU Institutional Review Board.

For these studies, we are seeking participants who are 18-26, speak fluent English, and have experienced sex education. For the transgender and gender non-conforming study, individuals must also identify as a gender minority (not cisgender). We are working with organizations and academic institutions throughout the country to help us recruit participants, and you may be receiving this information from an organization or academic institution you are a member of or affiliated with.

Each survey will take about 15-20 minutes on a voluntary basis. Upon successful completion of the online survey, participants will have the opportunity to enter a raffle draw for one of five $50 Amazon gift cards.

All responses to the surveys will be completely anonymous. The surveys include some sensitive questions regarding mental and sexual health, sexuality, gender identity, and other personal information.

Thank you very much for your consideration!
