Request for Research Questions
The PRIDE
Study – a national longitudinal cohort study of sexual and gender
minority health – aims to improve the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people. All sexual and gender minority
(LGBTQ) people aged 18 years or older who live in the United States will
be eligible to enroll in the study.
Annual
questionnaires to cohort members will improve understanding of how being
LGBTQ is related to all aspects of health and life including the unique
health care disparities, strengths, and resiliencies of our
communities. The PRIDE Study is an entirely electronic cohort study
powered by an advanced participant recruitment, management, and
retention system. As a longitudinal study, cohort members will
participate for years, hopefully decades. Additional information about The PRIDE Study is available at pridestudy.org.
In preparation for the launch of The PRIDE Study in mid-2015, we are currently soliciting the greater LGBTQ communities for specific questions of particular LGBTQ health interest.
We are committed to representing diverse voices in this study, not
simply those of researchers in the academic medical research enterprise.
We encourage community-based LGBTQ and health organizations, community
advocates, individuals, foundations, industry, and researchers to submit
informed questions of interest for study.
Please submit research questions at www.pridestudy.org/RFQ. Alternatively, please e-mail the required information to pridestudy@ucsf.edu on or before February 9, 2015.
Please include the submitter’s name, title (if applicable),
affiliation(s), e-mail address, telephone number, and area of content
expertise (if applicable). Please indicate if the submission is on
behalf of an organization, group, or individual.
There is no limit to the number of questions that can be submitted per person or organization.
Questions regarding this request should be addressed to Mitchell R. Lunn, MD and Juno Obedin-Maliver, MD, MPH at pridestudy@ucsf.edu or (855) 421-9991 (toll-free).
