About

Research has historically excluded the participation of transgender and gender-diverse people. The purpose of this research study is to find out about what goes into a transgender and gender-diverse youth's decision to participate in research. The results of this study will be used to improve access to research for transgender and gender-diverse youth and therefore, improve the representation of transgender and gender-diverse youth as research participants in research.
