About
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals are at an increased risk for mental health concerns, including anxiety, trauma-based distress, depression, self-harm, and suicidality. Quantitative and qualitative studies have shown that support appears to mediate mental health concerns, but to date, there have been zero psychotherapy studies focusing on transgender and gender diverse patients. The NIH has noted that TGD patients are considered to be a "health disparities population," indicating that there is considerable research to support prevention and reduction in mental health disparities for this population.
There are two aims to the current study-Aim 1: investigate the feasibility of conducting a psychotherapy randomized controlled trial for transgender and gender diverse populations, and Aim 2: longitudinally investigate the impact of minority stress interventions on well-being for transgender and gender diverse patients.
First, it is hypothesized that this study will demonstrate feasibility regarding recruitment of transgender and gender diverse patients and that patients from both groups will report treatment acceptability. We also hypothesize that patients will report more acceptability for treatments that are focused on minority stress interventions. It is hypothesized that individuals in both the Minority Stress Treatment (MST) group and Treatment as Usual (TAU) group will both show improvements in well-being, but that the MST group will demonstrate larger effects in outcomes.
No known published studies have focused on minority stress psychotherapy interventions for transgender and gender diverse populations. The findings from the proposed study will provide a multitude of information regarding longitudinal psychotherapy interventions focusing on minority stress that will inform future treatment manuals and larger, multi-site studies.
