Thrive Research Collaborative

Hello everyone! The THRiVE Collaborative, a group of researchers from Cleveland State University focused on the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ youth, are conducting a research study to explore transgender and gender-expansive youths' connection to trans* affirming care. We are conducting 60-90 minute interviews with youth (12-18) and/or their parents on their experiences with finding a trans*affirming provider and their care following connection. Participants must be located within the Midwest. All interviews will be conducted using Zoom. Participants will receive $20 for their time. Please message us here or email [email protected] to participate. Check out our work here: www.thrivecollaborative.org

The THRiVE Research Collaborative and colleagues are set to publish a manuscript titled, Exploring the Experiences and Responses of LGBTQ+ Adolescents to School-Based S*xuality Education, in the journal Psychology in the Schools. Keep swiping to read a summary of the key points discussed in the manuscript. Remember to check out our other posts as well.📚🌈☺️

We are thrilled to highlight another amazing student research assistant!! Rayna Hutcherson is a senior at Cleveland State University. Originally from Columbus, OH, she is majoring in Psychology and minoring in Communication Studies. After graduation, Rayna is planning to attend graduate school to become a psychologist. In addition to THRiVE, she will be conducting research this fall to examine the role of risk and protective factors in the development of internalizing and externalizing problems among adolescents. Rayna says, “I am filled with gratitude to work and learn alongside an amazing team of researchers dedicated to improving the health and development of youth!”
