Hello lovely humans!

As part of completing our Psychology Honours Dissertation at Charles Sturt University (Australia), we are conducting a research project looking at what protects against depression among sexual minority adults (CSU Human Research Ethics approved). We are truly privileged to be supervised by Professor Suzanne McLaren who is a published academic in this field (Orchid profile https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4121-2320).

Why am I posting here? Well, while we are seeking all sexual minority (adults) perspectives and participation, one specific question one of the team is asking is, 'is the gender of one's partner (among Bi individuals) potentially a protective mechanism?'

The survey is open to anyone who identifies as 2SLGBTQIA and is 18 years or over. Please consider participating in our online survey. It’s anonymous and confidential, and shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes.

If you would like to participate, read a brief summary of our project, see our contact details etc, we'd love that https://csufobjbs.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cA4WRhcRo9B7hvE

Thank you so much for reading. And hey, even if you can't participate, please consider sharing the study, or even perhaps we could have a discussion here whether you think partner gender (of Bi individuals) would affect depression, and why/why not? Cheers!
