ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on helping Black gender minority women, specifically transgender women, cope with stress and psychological issues that come from facing stigma and discrimination. The researchers are creating a special program that is shaped by the input of community members to address these challenges. They want to see if this program can effectively help reduce feelings of distress and depression among participants.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, identify as a woman or transgender feminine, and have been assigned male at birth. They should also be able to read and speak English. It's important to note that individuals currently receiving mental health treatment or living in certain controlled environments cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to be part of a supportive community effort aimed at improving mental health and well-being. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute to important changes for others in the community.
