Study Participants Needed

Passed on from a friend.

To Whom It May Concern:

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am currently a Smith College School for Social Work graduate student conducting research on biological same-sex couples in which one partner is transitioning from male-to-female or female-to-male. This study aims to identify potential relationship issues faced by biological same-sex couples in which one partner is transitioning from male-to-female or female-to-male. Another aim of this research is to further clinicians' understanding to effectively support couples in transition.

I am interested in interviewing both transitioning people and/or their partners for this study, at a time and place that is convenient for them. Participation in this study will be confidential.

If you think you know anyone that might be interested in participating and want to know more, please contact me through the information listed below. Thank you for your willingness to contribute to research that may enhance therapeutic work with transsexual clients and their partners.

Sincerely,
Amanda Griffith
