We are a team of students and faculty at the University of Texas at Austin collaborating with two international NGOs, SAATHII and Nirangal, to develop an app-based curriculum for Indian healthcare providers to work more effectively with LGBTQ+ patients. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the current level of comfort with LGBTQ+ health among the healthcare provider community in Chennai, India. Prior research and literature reviews have indicated that there are unique health challenges among LGBTQ+ communities, yet healthcare providers are largely unaware of or uncomfortable with these issues when interacting with patients.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
