TransForm Health Program: A 6-month structured intervention including monthly adolescent group sessions, monthly caregiver sessions, monthly individual goal-setting meetings, and weekly reinforcement messages focused on healthy eating, physical activity, body appreciation, and prevention of unhealthy weight-control behaviors.
Transgender and gender-diverse adolescents are at increased risk for obesity, disordered eating behaviors, body dissatisfaction, and reduced quality of life due to minority stress and structural inequities. However, no structured lifestyle interventions specifically tailored to this population have been developed.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month interdisciplinary lifestyle intervention designed to prevent obesity and eating disorders in transgender and gender-diverse adolescents aged 10-14 years. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to either an intervention group receiving monthly group sessions (for adolescents and caregivers separately) and weekly supportive messages, or a control group receiving standard outpatient care and general health recommendations.
The primary outcome is quality of life measured by the WHOQOL-BREF. Secondary outcomes include eating disorder symptoms, body image, diet quality, physical activity levels, sedentary behavior, body composition, and anthropometric measures.
