Shelby Deibert, PhD(c)
Supervisor: Dr. Anne Klassen
Our team is developing a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for children and adolescents (ages 8-18) who are receiving gender-affirming care (called GENDER-Q Kids). To create the GENDER-Q Kids, we are using a multi-phased, mixed-mixed methods approach. This presentation will focus on our phase one qualitative study. This study involves exploring concepts important to children and adolescents who are receiving gender-affirming care and forming a conceptual framework and comprehensive set of independently functioning scales.
Objectives:
- To review the methods we are using in our phase one qualitative study.
- To invite feedback on engaging youth in virtual research and working with research advisory committees.
