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.
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.
