Hi all - I am a research assistant on a NIH-funded project about FTM health. My research team wanted to see if anyone who is a member of this support forum would be interested in participating in our study. It will only require 15-30 minutes of your time. Please see a message below from the lead investigators of the study. This study is really important to us and we hope that you'll consider helping out!
Take care.

Participant Recruitment Post
We are a research team from Texas Tech University, UCLA, and Harvard University, and we are conducting a study on minority stress, health, and access to/use of hormones for transition among trans people who are, or want to, use hormones as part of transitioning from female to male. We welcome all individuals to participate who would be included in the “female-to-male” umbrella and who are or are thinking of using hormones (e.g., testosterone) to transition, regardless of specific gender identity and whether or not individuals have or have not begun, or desire to, undertake any aspects of gender transitioning. We hope that this study will contribute to the understanding of health and well-being, and access to transitioning hormones, among trans individuals, and will help to promote future work including federally funded initiatives to benefit trans communities. Your participation is essential to achieving this goal, so we hope that you will take part in our online survey study.
In order to participate, you must:
• Be 18 years of age or older
• Identify within the “female-to-male” umbrella. We include individuals who were assigned female at birth and are/or are thinking of undergoing transitioning processes.
• Use, or be thinking of using, hormones are part of transitioning.
• Reside in the United States

Your responses are anonymous and your data will be removed from the server soon after you complete the study. Depending on your privacy settings, the Internet host you are using may track and save user actions. For example, social networking sites may record and maintain information about the sites and pages visited and links activated while within network. It is possible that they may use that information linked to your identity for marketing purposes or provide it to third parties. You may access the survey outside of a social networking site by cutting and pasting the link above into a new web page.
If you have any questions about this study, please feel free to contact us using the contact information listed below. This research study has been approved by the Texas Tech University Institutional Review Board and we are happy to provide documentation of approval upon request.
At the end of the survey, you will be able to select from among a set of trans-affirming charities. The researchers will donate $2 to the charities for each participant who selects one.
Please feel welcome to pass on this message to other individuals who might be interested in participating as well.
Thank you very much for your time!
