The Effectiveness and Acceptability of Empirically-Supported Treatments in Gender Minority Youth Across Four Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: Objective: Gender minority youths (i.e., children/adolescents whose gender identity and/or expression is inconsistent with their birth-assigned sex) experience elevated rates of emotional and behavioral problems relative to their cisgender peers (i.e., youths who identify with their birth-assigned sex). Although empirically-supported treatments have proven effective in treating youth psychopathology generally, randomized controlled trials have not examined effects for gender minority youths.Method: To address … Show more

“…Furthermore, the portion of the intervention completers that identified as LGBTQ+ did not differ from the portion of those who started but did not complete the intervention, suggesting that LGBTQ+ youth did not drop out at a higher rate than did non-LGBTQ+ youth. These results contrast with previous work suggesting lower psychotherapy satisfaction for TGD youths as compared to their cisgender peers (Hollinsaid et al, 2020), but they are consistent with other evidence suggesting equivalent psychotherapy satisfaction across…”

“…Some mental health interventions designed or adapted specifically for LGBTQ+ youths have demonstrated efficacy and acceptability; however, the incremental clinical utility gained from LGBTQ-specific designs and modifications remains unclear, largely due to a lack of control and comparison groups in associated studies (Hobaica et al, 2018). Some emerging evidence suggests that general psychosocial treatment effects on youth psychopathology may be similar across youths with diverse gender identities, but also that gender minority youths may perceive existing psychosocial interventions as less acceptable or useful than cisgender youths do (Hollinsaid et al, 2020). Beyond this single study, there is a paucity of research on differential intervention effectiveness and acceptability among LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ youths.…”

“…The primary way in which psychologists and other mental-health professionals have sought to answer this question is by conducting meta-analyses that examine whether treatment efficacy is moderated by group characteristics that correlate with exposure to stigma, such as minority race or ethnicity (e.g., Weisz et al, 2017) and minority gender identity (e.g., Hollinsaid et al, 2020). With rare exceptions, these studies have generally failed to find reliable between-groups differences in intervention efficacy, suggesting that stigma may not influence how individuals respond to these health interventions.…”
