RESEARCH
Can be used in research studies and clinical trials of gender-affirming treatments.
CONCEPT-DRIVEN APPROACH
The GENDER-Q was developed from 84 concept elicitation interviews with people seeking gender-affirming care from 4 countries. A total of 50 clinical and research experts and 14 patients provided feedback used to refine the GENDER-Q. The GENDER-Q was field-tested in an international sample of 5497 people.
MODULAR DESIGN
The GENDER-Q includes independently functioning scales and checklists that measure 13 domains. The variety of scales provides flexibility to choose the subset of scales best suited to measure the outcomes of interest in any given study or clinical situation.
