Hi folks,

As you can see from the email below and the attachment, the Gerontology
Research Centre at SFU is looking for trans adults (ages 55+) to
participate in a trans-specific focus group (in downtown Vancouver)
 which provides an opportunity for participants to talk about the plans
they have made for aging and for end-of-life or, if they haven't made
plans, the reasons for that.

The focus group will be on Tuesday Sept 16th, for 2 hours; people who're
interested in participating would need to do a brief telephone interview
(20 minutes) prior to that day.

If you're interested in participating in this, please contact
 Patrick Aubert, Gerontology Research Centre, Simon Fraser University
ph:  778-782-9894 email: lgbteol at sfu.ca

Cheers, Devon

> Thank you for your interest and for getting in touch with me.

> We are currently conducting a study called "Fostering end-of-life
conversations, community and care among LGBT older adults". The study is
being done by the Gerontology Research Centre at Simon Fraser University in
conjunction with community partners here in Vancouver and with university
and community partners in Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. We have
two primary goals: (1) To understand the extent to which LGBT older adults
are making plans for later life and end-of-life and the barriers that they
may be facing; (2) To explore the role that internet-based technology can
play in helping LGBT older adults to make informed decisions and take
appropriate action. We are doing this by holding focus groups and a town
hall meeting in each of the 5 locations.
>
> I am currently recruiting participants for the trans focus group which is
scheduled for Tuesday September 16 at 1 PM at Simon Fraser's Harbour Centre
campus located at 515 West Hastings Street. Participants should
self-identify as transsexual or transgender and be 55 years of age or
older. We are also asking for some minimal computer experience, whether
that is emailing or posting on some sort of social media. This latter is
not an absolute requirement.
>
> The focus group will take two hours and is an opportunity for
participants to talk about the plans they have made for aging and for
end-of-life or, if they haven't made plans, the reasons for that. Our goal
is to develop a better understanding of the needs of the LGBT community in
regards to aging and then work with community groups to ensure that our
needs are being met. We also plan to develop a web-based tool that will be
available to the LGBT community as a
> resource for these issues.
>
> The trans community is terribly under-represented in any study of the
LGBT community and because of that there is very little information
regarding experiences with health care and social services - whether good
or bad. We are hoping to have participation so that the voice of the trans
community can be better represented.
>
> I have attached a flyer with all of the necessary information. Anyone who
wants to participate will have to do a telephone interview prior to next
Tuesday. That takes about 20 minutes and I try to schedule it at a time
that is convenient for the participant.
>
> Once again thank you for your interest Devon. I would be happy to answer
any additional questions that you may have. Or, if you would like to
participate, I can schedule an appointment for the telephone interview on
Thursday or Friday of this week between 10 AM and 5 PM.

> Kind regards,
> Patrick
