A new study led by Sarah Rabin, a PhD student at King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR), in partnership with the Royal British Legion, is seeking insights from LGBTQ+ serving and ex-serving personnel who joined the UK Armed Forces after 2000 – the post-ban era.
This project is the first of its kind in the UK, and will provide novel data on the health and well-being of UK LGBTQ+ serving and ex-serving personnel post-ban.
Identifying the risk and protective factors associated with health and well-being outcomes (such as PTSD, depression, and substance abuse) among LGBTQ+ service personnel and veterans and understanding the experiences of minorities within the UK military will help to provide robust evidence to the Government and wider stakeholders following calls for increased diversity.
It provides a unique opportunity for those who served in the post-ban era to share their voices, influence future change, and ensure their experiences are heard.
Participants will receive a £20 Amazon voucher as a thank-you.
