ODP415 Inclusion Health Clinic: Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy & Surgery Booklet and Review of Efficacy in Patient-Provider Encounters

While gender-inclusive health has been a growing field, comprehensive information on the topic has lacked for both patients and providers. The "Inclusion Health Clinic (IHC) Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy & Surgery" booklet, modelled after other Froedtert Health resources and created using guidelines from Endocrine Society, University of California, San Francisco, and World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), was introduced to IHC on April 28, 2021. Its goal was to facilitate patient-provider relationships through sharing clinical knowledge and practice preferences with patients as well as to assist providers in communicating concepts to individuals seeking advice and care. Booklet efficacy was analyzed through anonymous surveys self-selected among transgender and gender-nonconforming patients seen at Inclusion Health Clinic. Regardless of gender identity or new patient status, 100% of survey respondents found the booklet useful in generating a productive conversation. For numerical questions, averages for all data sets were above 4. 0/5. 0: ease of navigation was rated highest (4.75 +/- .24), followed by scope of care (4.25 +/- .34), and lastly the booklet's utility in explaining concepts (4.15 +/- .36). For qualitative responses, respondents found the most value in pages related to hormone therapy and surgery. Data from the survey was primarily used to improve the booklet; this revision is projected to be distributed to IHC in Spring 2022. The aspiration is for the booklet to evolve as care for the LGBTQ+ population advances, and that it will continue to serve as a relevant and useful source of information on gender-affirming health needs.
