Transgender Student Survey
Many campuses are contemplating the best ways to meet the needs of transgender students, and the question of how different schools approach this is often a topic of conversation at conferences. Acknowledging this need for information and resource sharing, Dr. Alexandra Hall, from Cornell University and Clinical Medicine Section Chair for NYSCHA, and Dr. Ted Coleman, from California State University of San Bernardino and Chair of ACHA’s LGBT Coalition, have designed an on-line survey for school health centers to complete. They will then compile the data and share it with the student health community. A pdf copy of the survey, which is extensive, is available so that participants may gather the needed information before beginning the online survey. All schools are encouraged to participate.
