Fall 2019 Newsletter

Dear Generations Participants,

As we approach the busy holiday season, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made with the Generations study. It is hard to imagine that we have completed three waves of data collection. Knowledge gained from Generations has been used to produce journal articles and reports accessed by people around the world and to lay important groundwork for policy changes to improve the lives of LGBT people (you can review our publications on our website www.generations-study.com). For example, since our last newsletter, Generations data have been used for journal articles about generational differences in the experience of sexual identity development, minority stress and health. The data have also been used in an op-ed article about the legacy of AIDS, specifically in regard to the way that trauma and shame get in the way of HIV prevention. As always, we would like to emphasize that these publications would not be possible without your participation and commitment to the Generations Study. Thank you! 

Happy Holidays

Hello Generations participants!

We are excited to share updates since you last heard from us in the fall. Since the study began in 2014, we have completed two annual surveys and are in the midst of Year 3 follow-up. We are very grateful for the time and energy you have given to the Generations study.

Your participation in this research provides valid and reliable data that are necessary to shed light on what is and what is not working for LGBT people. Please take the time to complete the survey when you receive it. As always, if you have a problem accessing the survey, or if you have not received it, please let us know at generations@ucla.edu.

May 2019 bring you peace and joy!
