About the Course

Because LGBTQ+ issues and populations have become more accepted in the general public than in the past, researchers have wondered about the differences between age cohorts relative to social stressors for LGBTQ+ populations. This is a qualitative study aimed at separating research participants into one of three age cohorts, gathering information about responses to different stressors common across all three age cohorts, and comparing responses across all three age cohorts.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Minority Stress, Distress, and Suicide Attempts in Three Cohorts of Sexual Minority Adults: a U.S. Probability Sample created by Ilhan H. Meyer, PhD, et al. in 2021.

Meyer is the Principal Investigator of the Generations Study, a U.S. national probability study of stress, identity, health, and health care utilization across three cohorts of sexual minorities, and TransPop, the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the U.S. Dr. Meyer has had more than 100 works published in peer reviewed journals.
