Between February 2022 and July 2022, our research team collected data in multiple cities: Melbourne, New York, and Toronto, to explore how COVID-19 was affecting the risk-taking of 16-21 year-old queer and/or racialized young women and gender-expansive youth.
The content of this dataset may be potentially triggering. Some of the stories in the data involve sexual risk-taking, suicide, violence, homophobia, abuse, self-harm, and general danger, which some individuals may find distressing. Please be advised.
