Hi Everyone,
I apologize if this seems a bit off topic, but I am doing some gay-affirmative research and I could really use your help. I am graduate student at the University of Florida. I am looking for gay men who are willing to fill out an online survey. So far I have about 175 participants, but I still need at least 75 more. If you are interested below is a short description and the link to the survey. Also, if you know of anyone else you think might be interested please feel free to forward it to them. And to those who have already done the survey - thanks!

Participate in LG Research!

· What is this study about?

I am a graduate student who is part of a team of diverse LGBT affirming researchers. I am conducting a study to learn more about the experiences of men who identify as gay or bisexual or have sex with men. With this study, I hope to contribute to understanding the experiences and needs of diverse populations of men.

· What does participating involve?

You must be 18 years or older and identify as a gay or bisexual man, or a man who has sex with men. Participation in the study will involve completing of an on-line survey that will take approximately 35 minutes. All responses will be anonymous.

Hi Everyone,
Just an update on the survey. I now have 215 participants! Thanks to all who have taken the time to fill it out. If you haven't there is still time. I need about 35 more people who are willing to do the survey. The survey takes about 35 min to complete, but you would be making a worthwile contribution to the litererature on gay men's mental health needs. This has been a neglected area of research, so this study is really important. If you know of anyone else who might be interested and willing to take the survey please forward it to them.
Thanks,
Marcie
