Summary

This completed study tested a 16-session online therapy program for transgender and gender-diverse adults in Romania who had symptoms of depression or anxiety. The therapy was designed to address stress related to discrimination and lack of affirming healthcare, and also included HIV prevention support. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and could improve mental health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via Zoom
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a scalable mental health and HIV prevention tool for transgender communities in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong: This was a very small, one-arm trial with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
