A study about mental health screening for trans people
Our purpose is to understand how to integrate socio-ecological gender based stressors into current mental health screening tools.
We would like to meet the needs of trans adults by testing and validating the properties of newly developed trans-specific suicide and depression screening tools.
Topics Covered Include
