Duke Gender Health & Wellness During Covid-19
This study is to learn about the healthcare experiences of transgender and gender non-binary patients at Duke, in the South, and across the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic. The multiple-choice survey should take about 15 minutes of your time, and is entirely confidential.
This study is voluntary and only includes people who choose to take part. Your decision to participate will have no effect on your access to medical care. There is little risk in participating. All information collected for the study will remain confidential and will be handled only by members of the Duke study team. The answers you provide will be collected without any of your direct identifying information like name or date of birth. We will ask your zip code to compare trends across different geographic areas. There is a chance that the questions asked could make you uncomfortable or upset. You may choose not to answer any questions that make you uncomfortable. Results of this research study may be published or shared outside of Duke. These results will contain no information by which you will be able to be identified.
This study has been approved by the Duke Institutional Review Board. If you have questions about participating in this survey study, you may contact a member of the study team by navigating to the Contact Us section of this website. If you have questions about your rights as a research subject, you can call the Duke Institutional Review Board (IRB) at 919-668-5111.
At the end of the survey, you will be invited to a follow-up phone conversation with a member of the Duke team. Participation in the interview is optional. We’ll discuss the same topics, but in an open format that allows each voice to be heard. Please let us know of any concerns, questions or suggestions by submitting them on the last page of the survey.
We thank you sincerely for the support. By filling out the survey and submitting your answers, you are indicating your consent to participate in the study.
