Project AFFIRM is a study that aims to learn more about the identity development and health of people who identify as trans or nonbinary. Our goal is to learn more about the development of gender identity across the lifespan in order to foster resilience and reduce stigma and discrimination among members of the trans and nonbinary community. Currently, we are examining the relationship between minority stress, resilience, mental health, and risk for cardiovascular disease in diverse U.S. gender minority populations.

We are now expanding our Atlanta cohort and would love to hear from ACC's attendees! Participants will be compensated up to $150 for their time.
