Perspectives on queer family planning experiences

The goal of this study is to gather more information on the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals during the family planning process, specifically as they relate to elements of stress and social support. This study will include any LGBTQ+ individuals who have gone through any part of the family planning process, as well as people who work with LGBTQ+ individuals, including (but not limited to) doctors, doulas, lactation consultants, and legal professionals. This will provide groundwork to guide questions in future research on parent and child health in LGBTQ+ populations.
