Please read the following description of this study before continuing the survey:

The purpose of this study is to promote trauma and substance use recovery for transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals by better understanding how stigma and minority stress influence their mental health and substance use behaviors in daily life. Ultimately, this study aims to promote the development of more effective, gender-affirming PTSD-SUD interventions for trans people. 

If you are determined to be eligible for this study and decide to participate, you will be asked to complete a 1 to 3-hour long appointment that may involve undergoing a structured clinical interview, providing saliva samples, completing several questionnaires, and/or downloading an app to your personal smartphone or tablet. The study appointment may take place over Zoom or in-person at the Gender-Based Violence Laboratory at Hunter College. For 14 days following this appointment, you will be asked to complete a brief 3-6 minute questionnaire on your smartphone or personal tablet up to three times per day.
