Young and Well - 16 to 27?

The Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre unites young people with researchers, practitioners, innovators and policy-makers from over 70 partner organisations across the not-for-profit, academic, government and corporate sectors.

The Young and Well CRC explores the role of technology in young people’s lives, and how technology can be used to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 12 to 25.

Are you between 16 and 27 years of age, living in Australia, and identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning or Intersex (LGBTQI)? If yes, we are interested in hearing about your experiences and any issues impacting your life. These include:

a) Your use of the internet and other support services
b) Your experiences of homophobia, transphobia, and harassment (both in school and out of school)
c) Your experiences of telling others about your sexuality and gender identity, and their level of support
d) Questions about sexuality, gender, health and well being.

This project aims to give young queer people an opportunity to contribute to the development of community and professional education resources that aim to counteract homophobia, transphobia and harassment. The results from this survey will contribute information that will lead to greater awareness of the needs of queer youth in the wider Australian community.

This study is funded by the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), Australia. The survey research is being conducted by a group of researchers from the University of Western Sydney.

The survey takes around 15-20 minutes to complete and is anonymous. This means that you will not be identified in any of the publications that arise from this research project. For this reason, we ask that you don't include your name anywhere in the survey.
