ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding why transgender and gender-diverse youth choose to participate in research studies. Historically, these individuals have often been left out of research, and this study aims to gather insights that could help improve their representation in future research. By learning more about their experiences and decision-making, the researchers hope to make it easier for transgender and gender-diverse youth to take part in studies that matter to them.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be aged between 15 and 21 years old and identify as a gender different from the sex they were assigned at birth. Those who are younger than 15 or older than 21, as well as those whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth, cannot participate. If eligible, participants will share their thoughts and experiences, contributing to a better understanding of how to make research more inclusive for transgender and gender-diverse youth. This is an important step towards ensuring that their voices are heard in research that impacts their lives.
