Good morning,

We are 3rd year Physician Assistant students from Seton Hall University conducting a research project on the relationship between hours of exposure to LGBTQIA+ health related content and students' level of confidence with taking care of LGBTQIA+ patients. If you would please forward the following letter to your students for their participation, we would appreciate it.

Thank you and have a great week!

Dear Participant,
As third-year graduate students in Seton Hall University's Master of Science in Physician Assistant Program, we are conducting research to determine if there is a relationship between hours of exposure to LGBTQIA+ health related content within the curricula of Physician Assistant Programs nationwide and students' perceived level of total confidence with these topics. Depending on how much exposure to LGBTQIA+ content the participant has received, we hypothesize that there is a relationship between hours of exposure to LGBTQIA+ health related content and students' perceived level of total confidence with these topics. Conducting this study can help raise awareness of potential gaps in PA program curricula regarding LGBTQIA+ education as well as raising personal awareness of the need to educate oneself on the management of LGBTQIA+ patients. This is a pilot study, as there is no known existing similar research regarding the Physician Assistant profession. The results can be utilized for future research in addition to a more comprehensive investigation regarding this topic.
Please complete this short, anonymous survey. The survey will be open for participation for 1 month and will take 5 minutes to complete. Participation is only limited to the time it takes to complete the survey. Your participation in this survey is voluntary. Information including names, date of birth, email addresses, and other identifying information will not be collected. However, as part of our study, we do request some demographic information such as gender identity, ethnicity, race, and the state your Physician Assistant program resides in. This information will be used for research purposes only and will be stored in a password-locked, encrypted OneDrive. This study has been approved by the Seton Hall University Institutional Review Board (IRB).
