Purpose: Due to the intertwining of medical and social decision-making, new approaches to shared decision-making are likely needed for supporting decisions related to the care of transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) adolescents. Prior to developing decision support interventions for TGD youth, a decision support needs assessment must be completed.
Methods: Self-identified TGD youth, family members of TGD youth, clinicians caring for this population, and community advocates participated in one of six group level assessments (GLAs).
Background: Patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT) may be an effective alternative to traditional approaches to sexually transmitted infection control and prevention. Consumer PDPT uptake is comprised of two behaviors: (1) patient willingness to deliver medicine (patient-delivery) and (2) partner willingness to take it (partner-use).
Methods: 505 participants aged 18 to 47 completed a nationally distributed survey of intentions, attitudes, perceived norms, perceived control, and specific outcome beliefs, normative influences, and barriers/facilitators related to PDPT.
