Findings from a national study with two distinct components. Module 1 aimed to gain a better understanding of the lives of LGBTI people with a special emphasis on young people. It looked at the factors that may impede or facilitate their mental health and wellbeing. Module 2 assessed public attitudes towards LGBT people to gain a better understanding of how the social environment can shape the lives and wellbeing of LGBTI people. Due to the extraordinary response rate received, this study is the largest study of LGBTI people in Ireland to date, the largest study of transgender people, and the first study with a sample of intersex people.
