Hey guys, my Research Assistant Levi is conducting a concurrent study alongside my dissertation study. Here is the approved ad:
Are you 18 or older? Do you currently identify as a female-to-male transgender or transsexual person, or have identified as FTM in the past and now identify as male but have NOT started T? Or just recently started T in the past month?
A self-identified transsexual male, Levi Herman, is conducting a research study on persons who identify as trans men. He is a student at the University of Houston and the results from this study will be used for his senior honors thesis. The purpose of this research is to examine changes in social cognition due to testosterone.
In order to qualify for this study you must be at least 18 years old. You must not have started testosterone before the first testing session. You must plan to start testosterone within the next year and plan on taking testosterone for at least one year. If you are interested, email Levi at ftmresearchlevi@gmail.com with your preferred name and telephone number. He will call you for an initial telephone screen.
The study consists of three visits lasting 1 hour each or Levi will send questionnaires to non-local participants. Local participants will be measured at the University of Houston. These measures will be conducted over the period of one year: first pre-T, second 3-4 months after starting T, and third 10-12 months after starting T. You will be asked to fill out questionnaires that assess basic demographic information, personal transitioning plans, and cognitive functioning. Local participants will take a psychological test that measures. This study has been reviewed by the Committee for Protecting Human Subjects at the University of Houston.
If you complete all three measurements, you will be given $40 in gift cards ($10 for time 1 and 2 and $20 for time 3).
I posted this ad in June and am submitting this call again because we need more participants. Please pass this along to others you know who are beginning T.
