Research study about safe sex and HIV/AIDS conducted by Rutgers Professor Dr. LaSala
Dr. Michael LaSala from Rutgers University’s School of Social Work is currently conducting a research study to determine what family communication helps (and what doesn’t help) young gay men avoid unsafe sex. He is looking for young gay males between the ages of 16 and 21 and their parent or parents to sit for individual and family interviews to be done either at your home or at an office at Rutgers. $100 will be given to each person who participates in the study. If you are interested in being part of this important study, please contact Dr. LaSala either by email at mlasala@ssw.rutgers.edu or by phone at 732-910-9901. Please take a moment to look at the information flyer for gay males and the flyer for parents.
