Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of an interactive educational app-based digital intervention that provides knowledge and support to transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth ages 15-24 years and their caregivers. The goal of the study is to examine the effects of exposure to the app on TGD youth mental health outcomes. Participants will be randomized to an Immediate Arm (access to a digital platform, plus usual care) or a Deferred Arm (usual care; access to the digital platform at 6 mo). Usual care consists of access to published resources and community support organizations, if available. The list of resources will include contact information for a suicide prevention hotline. For each Arm, the intervention period will last 6 months, followed by 12 months of observation, during which access to the intervention is maintained. Assessments will be performed every 3 months over the 18 month period to document changes in mental health outcomes, and the two groups will be compared. The investigators plan to enroll 500 TGD youth and their caregivers, with at least 50% (250 participants) to identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and 50% (125 TGD youth, 125 caregivers) to be youth-caregiver dyads. Ongoing process reassessments will be performed to maximize effectiveness of the intervention, including focus groups and in-depth interviews with TGD youth, caregivers, and providers, as well as analysis of data collected through the digital platform and participant surveys. Investigators will account for sociodemographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity, age, gender identity, school status, existing mental health conditions, and history of suicidal ideation or attempt. Data will be analyzed across racial minority groups to ensure that the intervention is effective for all racial minorities; if there are discrepancies in effectiveness, additional mixed methods evaluation will be performed to identify and address potential causes.
Research has historically excluded the participation of transgender and gender-diverse people. The purpose of this research study is to find out about what goes into a transgender and gender-diverse youth's decision to participate in research. The results of this study will be used to improve access to research for transgender and gender-diverse youth and therefore, improve the representation of transgender and gender-diverse youth as research participants in research.
In France, cervical cancer screening is the subject of a national screening programme organized for all asymptomatic individuals aged 25 to 65 years with a cervix. The latter contributes greatly to the prevention and early treatment of this disease, whose public health challenge is recognized worldwide. One of the objectives of this programme is to reduce inequalities in access. Transgender men, i.e. individuals assigned to the female gender at birth but identifying with the male gender, are concerned by this screening as long as they still have a cervix, according to the same modalities as for cisgender women. However, they are often excluded from health care, including organized screening programs. Gender change in civil status is one of the obstacles. The provision of gynaecological care is sometimes inadequate. The lack of knowledge of health professionals and the problems of discrimination that transgender people may face reduce the chances of having equitable access. This survey aims to explore the perception that transgender men have of cervical cancer screening and to identify the challenges they face, the obstacles and the levers to access this prevention program.
This project will evaluate the effect of gender-affirming estrogen treatment on how other medications are processed by the body.
The study will evaluate the sports capabilities of transgender women mainly in terms of muscular strength and aerobic capacity (VO2max). The control group will be composed of cisgender women and cisgender men with the same levels of physical activity.
Transgender male (TM) is the minority and difficult to reach-up group. Therefore, there is a lack of research on private issues involving TM, such as sex, eroticism, and sexual risk behavior. This study focuses on TM as the research participant, based on Milton Mayeroff's caring theory, to understand the TM's erotic culture and the sexual risks behavior, to evaluate the need for subsequent sexual health care. The research method is a mixed methods research of explanatory design, which recruits participants through purposive sampling and respondent-driven sample (RDS) methods. The first stage is an online questionnaire survey. A total of 321 TMs were recruited. The time of online questionnaire is about 10-15 minutes to get a preliminary understanding of the erotic and sexual risk experience of TM in Taiwan. In the second stage, focus groups and in-depth interviews will be conducted, 2 hours of each group and interview. A total of 29 transgender man and women, and non-binary participants were recruited. The recruitment will be stop when the data are saturated. The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data can get an in-depth understanding of sex, eroticism, and sexual risk, and violence experiences of the participants. The research results are important for improving the awareness and identification of sexual risk and the assessment of sexual health care needs of TM in health care profession. The results also serve as a reference guide for the development of care needs on sexual health care and anti-violence of transgender people, and for the implement of a gender-friendly environment for medical care.
The aim of the study is to follow acoustic and perceptual voice changes in trans men during hormone therapy and to examine the relationship between psychosocial and vocal characteristics and testosterone measured in routine follow-up in accordance with international follow-up guidelines.
This project will evaluate the effect of gender-affirming testosterone treatment on how other medications are processed by the body.
- Purpose. The purpose of this research is study the effect of progesterone therapy on testosterone levels in transwomen who are currently on gender affirming treatment with estradiol. - Duration. It is expected that participation will last for 6 months (24 weeks). - Study Procedures.

The study will test: 1. whether estrogen treatment in transwomen is associated with improved insulin sensitivity and beta cell function 2. whether testosterone treatment in transmen is associated with worsening insulin sensitivity and beta cell function 3. whether estrogen therapy leads to enhanced immune response in older transwormen
