Canadian Trans Youth Health Survey 2024

Are you between 14 and 25 years old and live in Canada? Do you identify as trans or non-binary, or feel your gender doesn’t match your body?


Researchers from around Canada, led by Principal Investigator Elizabeth Saewyc at the University of British Columbia (UBC), are seeking participants for a survey to learn more about health issues facing trans youth. Results of this survey will be used to improve trans youth health services and programs throughout Canada.


The survey may take up to an hour (60 minutes) to complete. 


Questions ask about your physical health, injuries, emotional health and stress. Other questions ask about your school, work, and family life. There are also questions about things you do that might affect your health, like alcohol or drug use, sports, sex, foods you eat, and your sleep.


This survey is completely anonymous. Your answers will be kept private on password-protected computers in Canada. No one will be able to link your answers to you. Only researchers on the team will see your answers, and they won’t know who you are.


To learn more about this survey and participate, go to SARAVYC.UBC.CA/CTYHS2024.


If you have further questions ou can contact the UBC research team at saravyc@nursing.ubc.ca.

Land Acknowledgement

NEDIC supports people from all across the land presently called Canada. Our office is located in Tkaronto (Toronto), on land described in the ‘Dish With One Spoon Territory’, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee that binds them to share the territory and protect the land.

 

NEDIC is committed to helping individuals who experience eating disorders or disordered eating, whatever that looks like for them. Bodies do not have to look a certain way in order to be deserving of respect. Western appearance ideals are rooted in white supremacy. Our commitment is always to supporting the individual, regardless of the body they inhabit, with an understanding that their body impacts the way they move through the world, are perceived, and may be treated when they attempt to receive eating disorder-related care.
