We're still building Q***r Kentucky's statewide map of health and wellness resources, and we can't do it without you. You know the places that don't show up on Google: the harm reduction locker at your library, the substance use support group that meets on Tuesdays, the LGBTQ+-affirming provider in your corner of the Commonwealth, the clinic quietly offering free PrEP or testing.

If it's helping people in Kentucky, it belongs on the map. No resource is too small.

Take a few minutes to fill out the form: https://observant-raptorex-e3c.notion.site/3dccc4898861808a9976d821f42c1677

“My study explores how LGBTQ+ students from rural Appalachian Kentucky communities select their public four-year college or university in the current political climate. I am currently seeking participants who are 18 or older, identify as LGBTQ+, are from a rural Appalachian Kentucky community, and are currently enrolled at a public four-year college or university.

Participation involves one individual interview lasting approximately 45-90 minutes. Participation is completely voluntary, and there is no compensation.
