Interviews to Better Understand How We can Create a Tool to Measure Disorderded Eating Specifically for Transgender and Non-Binary Youth

Measures of disordered eating have primarily been developed for cisgender people. We invite adolescents ages 12-21 who are transgender, non-binary, and/or gender-diverse to participate in a research study that is being done to learn more about how we can create a tailored measure of disordered eating for transgender and non-binary youth. Interested youth would complete a 60-90 minute focus group with other transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse youth on Zoom and receive a $30 e-gift card. Youth can participate in this study without consent from a guardian. Please email us at RISES.studies@gmail.com if you are interested in participating in an individual interview.
