Mobile App for Transgender Voice Modification Training
This study is testing a new mobile app called "Attuned" designed to help transgender and gender diverse individuals modify their voice. Researchers want to see if using the Attuned app for 11 weeks is as good as or better than traditional in-person voice therapy. They will measure how participants feel about their voices and how their voices actually sound. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, identify as transgender, can read and write English, and have an iOS or Android device. The study is currently recruiting 50 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional study planning to enroll 50 participants. It compares voice modification therapy using the Attuned mobile application to standard in-person voice modification therapy.
- What's involved
- Participants will undergo an 11-week program, either through the Attuned app or in-person therapy. Voice and self-evaluation questionnaires will be completed at the beginning, week 4, and week 11.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 11, which marks the end of the 11-week program.
