This app is designed for research and education purposes only. This app is not meant to provide medical advice, attention, or treatment. If you are having a medical emergency, call or contact your healthcare provider.
WHAT IS THE PRIDE STUDY?
The PRIDE Study is the first large-scale, long-term health study of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ), or another sexual or gender minority.
By participating in The PRIDE Study over time, your unique story teaches us about the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ people like you.
WHO IS CONDUCTING THE PRIDE STUDY?
The PRIDE Study is being conducted by doctors and research scientists at The University of California, San Francisco.
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE PRIDE STUDY?
The mission of The PRIDE Study is to improve the health of LGBTQ people. To meet this goal, we need to understand how being LGBTQ affects your health. The PRIDE Study deeply explores how the experience of being LGBTQ is related to all aspects of health and life. We study the unique health care disparities, strengths, and resiliencies of our communities. We share our findings through a variety of methods to impact LGBTQ communities and health professionals.
HOW IS MY INFORMATION KEPT SAFE?
As doctors and research scientists, we understand that information about your life and health is personal. Like our patients’ health information, it is our priority to keep the information you share private and secure. All communications between you and our app are secure electronic transmission, and our data are physically secure. All our systems meet the requirements defined by federal law (United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA).
HOW IS MY INFORMATION SHARED?
Your participation in The PRIDE Study is wasted if we don’t share the results with the people and organizations that can make real change for LGBTQ health. Results from The PRIDE Study will be shared directly with you, healthcare professionals, policy makers, and community organization. We will never share individual information; only aggregated (grouped) data will be shared.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
The next step of The PRIDE Study has launched! With the introduction of The PRIDE Study web platform, you will now be able to participate from your computer, tablet or mobile device. The app now provides direct access to The PRIDE Study web portal and a preview into how you can be involved in the study to advance LGBTQ healthcare.
