Research Surveys
The QRC is often asked to pass along opportunities for LGBTQ students to participate in research studies from various institutions across the world. Most of these studies will hopefully provide useful research data about LGBTQ populations. We provide these links to these survey opportunities completely voluntarily for students to complete if they desire - participation in these is purely voluntary and at the students' discretion. Links and studies will be cycled out as they are received.
Please note: The QRC does not endorse or require anyone to participate in research studies that may be listed here in this newsletter or elsewhere online. Surveys and studies presented here are listed as a way to ensure that Queer voices are also heard in these kinds of studies. If you feel harmed by this research in any way please contact the IRB (Institutional Review Board) at the university in which the study is being done directly. If you have questions or concerns on the inclusivity of the questions or any other feedback directly related to the experience of doing the study send them to the primary investigator whose address is provided on the first page of the survey. Credible surveys should include contact information for both the Faculty member who is overseeing the study and that institution's IRB
for further follow up.
Invitation to participate in a research study titled:
Transpeople: An Assessment of Internal and External Resilience Factors
I’m Liesl Farnsworth, a doctoral student in Counseling at Oregon State University. I’m seeking participants for my dissertation study. This OSU-IRB approved study seeks to assess resiliency among transpeople. I’m focusing on, and very much passionate about, this topic area as I’m also a licensed clinician who works with and advocates for this population.
I’m currently contacting organizations, associations and coalitions related to sexual minorities and ask for your willingness to post, or otherwise share this request with those eligible to participate. My hope is findings from this study will increase awareness and understanding so as to further inform advocacy, support and counseling services transpeople receive.
To date, we know how resilience is experienced in the general population, as well as within some specific ethnic groups. However, very few studies have explored how resilience is experienced within other diverse populations and subgroups such as those who identify as Transgender. We know resiliency is both internally and externally influenced and includes protective factors such as psychological/dispositional skills, family support and cohesion and external support (Jowkar, Friborg, & Hjemdal,; Hjemdal, Friborg, Braun, Kempenaers, Linkowski, & Fossion, 2011; Smith, Dalen, Wiggins, Tooley, Christopher, & Bernard, 2008). What we don’t yet know is much about resiliency factors among Transpeople.
Participation is anonymous and responses will be kept confidential—to include no identifying information linked to participants or organizations. If published, findings will be reported anonymously.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide in distributing this flyer, and feel free to contact me, or my dissertation chair: Daniel Stroud Ph.D., who is my academic advisor and this study’s principal investigator, if you have any questions or concerns.
