    The EC staff has received and reviewed a request from a graduate student researcher at Penn State University. He is looking at how online support communities benefit their members, particularly for marginalized populations, such as LGBT people.

    This is research that has potential benefit to the EmptyClosets community, in that it may help us learn how people make use of the community and what resources people benefit from the most.

    If you are 18 or over, please help with this research by filling out the survey below. If you have any questions or concerns, please let one of our staff know.

    Please note, this survey is not commissioned or supervised by anyone on the EC staff, it is just an independent study that EC's staff has agreed to assist with.

    That was actually kind of difficult, but it was a well-written survey. I think that the wording of a lot of the questions were so similar that I couldn't tell if semantic hairsplitting was called for or if the researcher was just asking the same question multiple times in order to control for people not paying attention.

    Done, but the part about having family and friends' support in real life was just depressing :slight_smile:
