The National LGBTQ Task Force has partnered with Trans Lifeline to launch what is being called the nation’s first transgender mental-health survey.

The first-of-its-kind research is intended to provide a deep insight into the mental healthcare experiences of transgender people in order to improve advocacy efforts. All people over the age of 18 living in the United States that identify as transgender are encouraged to take the survey.

According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, one-third of transgender people report negative experiences with health providers.

The survey is conducted exclusively online and can be filled out at TransMentalHealthSurvey.org.
