I didn’t even know SMYRC had a blog, but the queer youth advocacy center has some pretty entertaining updates. One of particular interest to young adults, however, is a paid survey about teen tobacco use.
SMYRC is looking for a diverse group of folks between the ages of 18 and 24 who identify as LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex) to participate in a focus group. The topic of discussion will be tobacco use in the Portland queer community. We are looking for current, former, and never-tobacco users alike who have opinions to share about tobacco use.
The focus group will take place on Thursday, January 28th from 5:00 – 6:30p in NE Portland. Dinner will be provided (dietary restrictions considered) as well as $20 compensation for your time. For more information or to sign up for the focus group, please contact Bree at brianna.abbey@cascadiabhc.org . In the body of the email, please include the following information about yourself to be considered:
