Statements
Legal gender affirmation - legal name and gender marker change - is an important health-promoting health determinant for transgender people. (English)
In Peru, the state's failure to universally recognize transgender people's legal identity limits standardized legal affirmation procedures, including the paucity of government officials trained in gender affirmation strategies. (English)
This project, in partnership with Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil (RENIEC) and transgender communities, designed and piloted a group-based intervention to sensitize government officers to the importance of gender-concordant identity documents. (English)
Between August 2017 and February 2018, three in-person group intervention sessions were held (each 3-4 hours) with 51 government officers. (English)
Guided by Gender Affirmation and Structural Violence Frameworks, the intervention utilized Adult Learning Theory and applied storytelling and testimonials as pedagogy. (English)
Pre-/post-test surveys were administered (19 true/false items, summed to create an index score measuring knowledge and attitudes toward transgender people). (English)
Within-person changes in pre-/post-intervention scores were evaluated using paired t-tests. (English)
Pre-/post-test data were available for 41 participants. (English)
After the intervention, there were improvements in knowledge and more favorable attitudes toward transgender people (pre-test mean = 14.09, SD = 2.33 vs. post-test mean = 15.62, SD = 1.82; difference = 1.53, 95% CL = 0.60, 2.67; t-test = 3.30 [df = 46]; <i>p</i> = 0.002). (English)
The intervention was feasible to conduct and garnered high acceptability. (English)
The results suggest the promise of this brief intervention for future research and testing before potential later implementation and scale-up to increase the capacity of government officers to address legal gender affirmation for transgender people in Peru. (English)
<b>Main findings:</b> A brief group-based theoretically informed intervention designed and piloted by a multidisciplinary cross-sector team in partnership with transgender communities was feasible to conduct, garnered high levels of acceptability, and significantly increased knowledge and favorable attitudes toward transgender people for government officers responsible for identity documents [...] (English)
