Hi

My name is Maya and I'm a PhD student. I'm currently conducting my dissertation study with same-sex attracted older adults (50 and up). My study is on identity development and well-being. It's completely anonymous for participants and only takes about 20 minutes. 

The goal of the study is to develop a better understand of the lives and needs of same-sex attracted older individuals. It will allow people in helping professions to better design services for the older population and will help create a picture of aging as an LGBT person for us younger individuals. I'm particularly interested in including individuals who may not be "out" in their daily lives.  

If you're interested in taking the survey or want to find out more, here's a direct link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GIQOlderAdults

I would greatly appreciate it if people who share this link with other people who are 50+.  There are often people living heterosexual lives, in heterosexual marriages who aren't open with many people about their same-sex attractions.

 

Thank you,

 

Maya

I'll for sure go to your link and take the survey. I hope it is still active. I am a 58 year old Gay man and have been with my partner about 14 years. I hope other GLBT older folks will step up. Lets chat. We're as much a part of the senior scene as anyone else. 
Best. John
