Swiss Prospective Cohort of TRansgender and Gender Diverse Individuals - SPECTRA-studien (SPECTRA)

26. juni 2026 oppdatert av: Bettina Winzeler, University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Målet med denne observasjonsstudien er å forstå faktorene som påvirker trivselen og helsen til transpersoner og kjønnsdiverse (TGD) individer som gjennomgår kjønnsbekreftende terapier i Sveits. Studiepopulasjonen inkluderer TGD-individer i alderen 16 år og eldre, på ulike stadier av deres medisinske overgang, inkludert de som har avbrutt eller gått over.

Hovedspørsmålet er:

Hva er nøkkelfaktorene som påvirker velvære og helseresultater til transpersoner og kjønnsforskjellige individer som gjennomgår kjønnsbekreftende terapier?

Forskere vil sammenligne helseutfall på tvers av ulike undergrupper, for eksempel de i ulike stadier av overgang eller detransisjon, for å undersøke effekten av kjønnsbekreftende terapier.

Deltakerne vil:

Fyll ut elektroniske spørreskjemaer som vurderer kjønnskongruens, livskvalitet, mental helse og andre utfall.

Gi biologiske prøver (f.eks. blod, urin, avføring og hudpinner) for laboratorieanalyse.

Gjennomgå kliniske evalueringer relatert til endokrinologi, fertilitet, dermatologi og urologi som en del av deres rutinemessige oppfølging.

Studiepopulasjon

Studiepopulasjonen for SPECTRA-studien vil bestå av transpersoner og kjønnsdiverse (TGD) individer i alderen 16 og oppover, diagnostisert med kjønnsinkongruens, og som mottar omsorg ved deltakende sveitsiske helsesentre. Rekruttering vil starte ved Universitetssykehuset Basel og Lucerne Cantonal Hospital og utvides til andre sentre over hele Sveits. Studien retter seg mot individer i ulike stadier av medisinsk overgang, inkludert de som starter, fortsetter eller avslutter kjønnsbekreftende terapier. Innsatsen vil sikre inkludering av alle kjønnsidentiteter for å ivareta deres unike helsebehov på en helhetlig måte.

Kohorter og intervensjoner

Gruppe / Kohort
Intervensjon / Behandling
Group A: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who present before they start GAHT are included in group A
The study program consists of assessments at baseline (before the start of GAHT) and subsequent follow-up visits scheduled at routine intervals which are typically every three months for the first year, every six months for the second year and every twelve months thereafter. Participants' data collection includes a mix of digital and in-person methods. Demographical information, clinical and laboratory parameters such as hormone levels which are part of standard clinical care
Group B: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who are already on GAHT are included in group B
The study program consists of a yearly assessment as part of the long-term routine follow-up. Participants' data collection includes a mix of digital and in-person methods. Demographical information, clinical and laboratory parameters such as hormone levels which are part of standard clinical care
Group C: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who undergo gender affirming surgery are (additionally or exclusively) included in group C
If GAS is administered, additional assessments are performed preoperatively, and postoperatively in analogy with routine clinical visits, e.g. one week after surgery and then three, six and twelve months later (then once yearly) (e.g. type of surgery, outcome, patient' satisfaction). If participants undergo gender-affirming genital surgery, a genital swab and urine analysis (from the urine sample taken for routine testing) will additionally be performed for microbiome analyses as part of the study assessment.

Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI). The scores for the two dimensions of sexual desire are summed up separately. Dyadic sexual desire: Scores will range from 0 to 62; while there is no universally established cutoff score that applies across all populations, higher scores at around 50 and upward indicate hypersexuality in the dyadic dimension. Solitary sexual desire: Scores will range from 0 to 39; while there is no universally established cutoff score that applies across all populations, higher scores at around 31 and upward indicate hypersexuality in the solitary dimension.
