Questions asked (2)
discrimination, threats, conversion-therapy exposure and access to gender-affirming care reported by transgender and nonbinary youth
[Instrument wording is not published on the public summary page. Items covered: discrimination because of gender identity; being physically threatened or harmed because of gender identity; being threatened with or subjected to conversion therapy; current use of hormones or puberty blockers; concern about losing access to hormone care; access to gender-neutral school bathrooms; whether household members respect the respondent's pronouns.]
Wording reconstructed from: The Trevor Project annual national survey summary page
Wording notes: self-selected respondents recruited by ads targeted at LGBTQ youth
unclear — verbatim wording unavailable; the advocacy-recruited sample frame is the dominant methodological caveat
Subgroup figures (11)
self-reported effect of recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws and politics on trans and nonbinary youth
[Instrument wording is not published on the public summary page. Items covered: whether recent politics and anti-LGBTQ+ laws negatively affected the respondent's wellbeing, feeling unsafe, and whether the respondent or their family considered moving to a different state.]
Wording reconstructed from: The Trevor Project annual national survey summary page
Wording notes: asks respondents to attribute their own distress to a named political cause, which invites acquiescence
unclear — verbatim wording unavailable; attribution-style items of this kind typically return very high agreement
