What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating an educational handout designed for transgender and non-binary individuals assigned female at birth who are considering gender-affirming hysterectomy with or without ovary removal. The study aims to assess the impact of this handout on patients' understanding of the benefits and risks of retaining or removing ovaries before surgery. This interventional trial is randomized and does not involve masking or blinding. The intervention involves providing an educational handout to a group of participants prior to their surgical consultation at the time of the initial survey. Participants are randomly assigned to either receive the handout plus a survey or just the survey without the handout. This approach allows researchers to compare knowledge and decisional conflict between the groups. Participants will complete surveys to measure their decisional conflict score on the first day of the study. The researchers will monitor how the educational material influences participants' decisions about surgery. The study includes adults aged 18 to 65, with follow-up limited to the initial consultation period. The total duration and further follow-up details are not specified.
