Researchers at Dalhousie University are recruiting two members of a relationship for a new research study! See the post below or visit this page https://natalieorosen.com/orchidstudy/ for more information.

📢New Couples Study! 📢

We have just launched the ORCHID study and are seeking couples to participate! We are interested in the gendered and s*xed experiences of women and females, inclusive of cisgender, transgender, and non-binary individuals and their partners.

You may be eligible to participate* if you and your partner are:
🟡18 years of age or older
🟡Are in a in a committed relationship
🟡Live in Canada or the US

*Other eligibility criteria apply. For more information on our eligibility criteria check out our website https://natalieorosen.com/orchidstudy

This study also aims to be inclusive of all relationship configurations. However, given the focus on couples, if you are in a relationship with more than one person, you would have to decide with whom to participate in the study.

We are especially interested in including the experiences of couples who have typically been underrepresented in s*xuality research, such as couples where one or both members of the couple is Black, Indigenous, or a person of colour.

Compensation is offered.
