Navigating Gender Together: Youth-Caregiver Study

Study for Gender Diverse Youth of Color & Their Parents

We are recruiting gender diverse youth of color and their parents to be interviewed separately
regarding their experiences with navigating the youth’s gender.

The study involves one, 2-hour session in which we separately interview the youth and the parent at the same time over Zoom. The first hour of the study is to explain the study to make sure you want to participate, and the second hour is the actual interview.
