Further Information
The article focuses on a study evaluating the cost-effectiveness of an interdisciplinary, internet-based transgender health care program called i2TransHealth for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals in remote areas of Germany. Conducted alongside a randomized controlled trial, the study compared the i2TransHealth intervention with a waiting list, assessing health outcomes using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and the Global Severity Index of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18 GSI). Results indicated that while participants in the intervention group showed statistically significant improvement in mental health, the program was unlikely to be cost-effective from a societal perspective, even at high willingness-to-pay thresholds. The study highlights the challenges in providing adequate transgender health care in less accessible regions. [Extracted from the article]
