The Male Youth Pursuing Education, Empowerment & Prevention around Sexuality (MyPEEPS) Mobile study at the Center for Gender, Sexuality and HIV Prevention at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is trying to develop a mobile app for teens that will hopefully reduce sexual risk behaviors by increasing their knowledge of HIV, increasing their self-efficacy for safer sex, and increasing health-related partner verbal communication.

We're looking for young guys who have sex with other guys, between the ages of 13 to 18, to help us with this research and test the app! Eligible individuals will come into our office for approximately 1.5-to-3 hours to test the MyPEEPS Mobile app on a computer. The testing session and your eye movement will be video- and audio-recorded. After testing the app, you will answer a short survey on an iPad about your experience with the app and your sexual health. At the end of the visit, you will be compensated $40 for your time.

This study is also being done in Birmingham, New York City, and Seattle with the University of Alabama, Columbia University, and the University of Washington, respectively.

If you or someone you know is interested in finding out more about our study, please call us at 312-600-5168 or send us an email at mypeeps@luriechildrens.org.

Hello everyone!

My name is Diana, and I'm part of a Harvard University research team currently working on an online study about the ways that adolescents feel about themselves. Here's some information about the study—if I shouldn't be posting this here, just let me know and I'll be happy to take it down.

We are interested in recruiting 14-15 year olds who use this subreddit to participate in our research study. Participation is completely voluntary.

If you are interested in participating, you will complete an online screener to see if you qualify to participate. This screener will take between 3-5 minutes. If you qualify, you will be invited to complete a variety of questionnaires online. The study will take up to 1 hour and you will be compensated $5 in online gift cards to Amazon or Starbucks.

A few important things to know about the study are:

1. The study includes questions and images about self-harm and include other unpleasant images. Some people may feel that these images are disturbing and may find them to be triggering.

2. All information collected will be kept confidential.

3. Participation is completely voluntary.

4. The link we provide will send you to a website telling you about the study. Once on that site, you can decide whether or not you want to participate.

5. If you start to participate and decide you no longer feel comfortable or you are no longer interested, you can end it without any penalty or punishment.

6. We will provide links to treatment resources throughout the study, in case participants feel upset by any of the questions or tasks in the study.

7. In order to complete the study, you will need to download software called Inquisit. This software will not harm your computer, and you can uninstall it after completing the study.

Please send us a private message if you are interested in participating. Once you contact us, we will send you a link to the screening questionnaire to see if you qualify and to tell you more about the study.

Thank you for your consideration!

The last post and the post before that is a difference of 6 months...

In September, I joined my school's drama troupe, and met the cousin of one of the girls there. At first, he developed a crush on me, a feeling that wasn't mutual, but I did not abuse. I acted friendly towards him, and soon we became friends. Because of our friendship, I began to feel an attraction towards him, but his was decreasing. Now, he claims that he's straight, and I'm feeling hopeless....
