Study Summary

This trial will assess if an app can help transgender and gender diverse people improve their voice quality as much as traditional speech therapy.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for transgender and gender diverse individuals over 18 who own an iOS device and can read/write in English. It's not suitable for cisgender people or those with voice-related issues like hoarseness or pain.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a mobile app called Attuned, designed to help with voice modification, against traditional in-person therapy. The effectiveness will be judged by participants' satisfaction with their voices and objective measures of voice quality.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-medical interventions (voice therapy via an app), side effects are minimal but may include temporary vocal strain or fatigue from practicing new speaking techniques.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) individuals using the pilot appExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The investigators will develop Attuned, an open access voice and communication modification training (VCMT) app based on standard of care. Participants will undergo VCMT via the mobile application, Attuned. Participants will include healthy transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) individuals seeking voice modification to better reflect their identity.

Group II: Transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) individuals receiving standard voice modificationActive Control1 Intervention

VCMT via speech pathology will be compared to the efficacy of an app-based VCMT program. Participants will undergo VCMT in-person. Participants will include healthy transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) individuals seeking voice modification to better reflect their identity.
