What is this project and why do you want me to participate?
The project aims to increase knowledge about how healthcare, education, and research can meet the needs of people who have been forced to migrate another country and sought protection in Sweden as LGBTQ+. In this project, we define LGBTQ+ as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and people with other queer expressions or identities. The "+" indicates that we also include people with other sexual orientations, gender expressions, and gender identities, who do not solely identify as heterosexual and cisgender. The purpose of the study is to explore how healthcare and future research should be designed to meet the needs of these individuals. We are reaching out to you because you have personal experience of being forced to migrate to Sweden as an LGBTQ+ person. To participate in the study, you need to be 18 years or older.
The entity responsible for the research is the Swedish Red Cross university. The entity responsible for the research means the organization that is responsible for the project. The application is approved by the Swedish Suthical Review Authority (approval number 2022-01483-01).
