Adult Gender Medicine Registry of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Patients

In collaboration with other academic institutions in the US, the Gender Medicine Registry project will establish the framework for a large, multisite prospective registry to assess short- and long-term risks and benefits of gender affirming hormone therapies and surgeries on the physical and psychological well-being of TGNB adult patients on the typical US regimen.  The overarching goal is to close knowledge gaps in the field of gender medicine and to improve the care of both patients both at Duke and throughout the U.S.

DCE-IMPACT: Identifying and Matching Individual's Preferences for HIV/AIDS Counseling and Testing

Despite worldwide efforts to promote HIV counseling and testing, rates of testing in Tanzania remain low. This study uses a Discrete Choice Experiment, a survey method increasingly used by health economists for the design of patient-centered health care options, to identify HIV testing preferences among two high-risk populations and evaluate, in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT), the effect of a preference-based HIV counseling and testing intervention on testing uptake in the Kilimanjaro region.
