The research is conducted from a lgbt-affirming perspective. We are seeking a large group of lgbt youths and young adults from different parts of the country who are at least 18 years of age to complete a survey about their experiences. The survey takes about an hour and has questions about personal background, family relationships, and experiences with different kinds of victimization. We are seeking organized groups who can help. Only groups with an advisor, facilitator, counselor, or coordinator of some kind can be involved. This adult contact person will be sent a packet of surveys and will send them back to Penn State when they're completed. The requirement of having someone help with the surveys is intended to protect the privacy of people taking the survey and to be sure that they are informed about the project. Research on youth is extremely important so that we can develop programs to provide support in the most useful way. Your participation in the project will be of tremendous help in bringing the needs of youths to the attention of legislators, school officials, and policy-makers. If you are able to help, email Nathan Williams, Dr. D'Augelli's research coordinator, at nlw104@psuvm.psu.edu, sending the name and mailing address of the contact person who will help. Or you can mail Williams c/o Dr. D'Augelli at the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802. Phone: 814-863-0241; fax: 814-863-7963. The contact person will first be sent information about the project that describes the role of the contact person. A form that must be sent back to Penn State will also be included; this form asks how many surveys are needed. The project has been approved by Penn State's office for research on human subjects. You may contact the office at 814-863-8699 if you have any concerns about the way the project is conducted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
