Your input is needed for a survey on gender equity in design. This survey seeks to understand the place-based lived experiences of trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, queer individuals and communities as they navigate the places and spaces of daily life (home, work, school, public space, recreation, etc.). Your contribution will help generate tools for equitable design and support urban designers, architects, landscape architects, and interior designers in the co-creation of equitable and inclusive places.

The survey asks demographic questions, but no identifiable information is collected. All responses are anonymous. The survey will take less than 20 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, there is an opportunity to enter a drawing to win a $100 gift card. (You will be asked to use an email address to enter the drawing, but your email will be unattached from any data you provide and discarded after the drawing.) For each response, up to 1,000 responses, we will be donating $1 to The Trevor Project [thetrevorproject.org], a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQIA2+ youth.

Follow this link to the survey. [beyondthebinary.typeform.com] (https://beyondthebinary.typeform.com/survey [beyondthebinary.typeform.com])

Your participation is greatly appreciated! The survey will remain open until the end of January. Feel free to forward this email and survey link to your networks. For questions about the research, contact beyondthebinary@mithun.com.

Dr. Sahnah Lim at the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH) is conducting a study to understand the health and safety of Asian and Asian American women in the US. Given the continued violence against Asian women in NYC and throughout the country, we would like to better understand the safety and mental health of Asian women. Your participation will contribute to greater understanding on important health topics and to the future development of programs that are specifically tailored for Asian women.

Participation in this study involves completing a one-time anonymous online survey about your perceptions of safety, mental health, substance use, and other related health outcomes like sleep disturbance. The survey will be open through December 2022. You may be eligible to participate if you identify as an Asian adult woman living or staying in the U.S. There is no cost for participation in the study. If you agree to participate in this research, you will not receive compensation for your time. The survey is available in English only.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in distributing this survey opportunity to those in your network!
