Analysts
PRISM's initiatives, surveys, and other programs give us all sorts of info, but it's no use if we don't know what any of it means! Analysts sift through all of the data points to find patterns and statistics of interest.
What programs is the Research Task Force working on?
STI Clinic Vetting Program
Part of PRISM's sexual health resources is the STI Clinic Search, which provides access to information about free and low-cost STI testing centers in South Florida. In order to ensure the clinics we refer are reputable, respectful, and safe, our Research Task Force oversees the STI Clinic Vetting Program, which takes volunteers through the full process of getting tested from walk-ins or making an appointment to getting their results back. The feedback volunteers provide about their experience at clinics helps give us a clear picture of the quality of the testing location.
LGBT Education Survey
Comprehensive LGBT education has a clear emotional, academic, and social benefit for LGBT youth in schools. In order to gauge the impact of equity policies and programs in the Palm Beach County School District (PBCSD), our Research Task Force has put together the LGBT Education Survey, which asks students about the topics discussed in their classes.
And More!
Our Research Task Force is always developing more programs and resources to keep up the fight for LGBT youth. Check back here or sign up for our newsletter to find out about future initiatives!
