Summary

The aim of this study is to test if using a web-based medical decision-making tool on the topics of fertility and fertility-preservation increases knowledge among transgender youth and young adults.

Detailed description

The pilot trial of Aid for Fertility-Related Medical Decisions (AFFRMED) is a single-arm, pre-/post- feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy trial. 10 transgender adolescents and young adults (AYA) and 10 parents of transgender AYA participated in a 90-120 min, virtual research visit via Zoom. During this visit they completed pre-test measures of fertility knowledge and decisional self-efficacy, followed by up to 1 hour to freely navigate AFFRMED decision aid. After using AFFRMED, participants completed post-test measures of fertility knowledge and decisional self-efficacy, as well as implementation outcomes measures (Acceptability of Intervention, Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and Feasibility of Intervention Measure).
