Assessment of the care experience during medical transition for transgender and gender diverse people in France: results from the PREMIUM study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundImproving access to medical transition for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals is a priority, which requires data on the experience of medical transition during and after the process. However, no Patient-Reported Experience Measurement (PREM) questionnaire has been developed specifically for this population until now in the French context. The primary objective was to provide preliminary evidence of the psychometric properties regarding validity and reliability of the PREMIUM questionnaires among TGD individuals undergoing medical transition. The secondary objectives were to explore the relationships between different dimensions of the care experience during medical transition with socio-demographic and clinical characteristics.
methodsA national web survey was conducted from 2021 to 2022 including a set of PREMIUM questionnaires measuring respect and dignity, information received, access and care coordination, interpersonal relationships with providers and psychotherapy. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and corrected item-total correlations, and construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA). Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were used to assess the association between self-reported experience with sociodemographic and clinical data.
resultsA total of 168 individuals participated in the study, revealing through PREMIUM questionnaires critical areas for enhancement: informational gaps on initiatives and peer support, care access and coordination challenges marked by appointment delays and repetitive medical histories, respect and dignity concerns highlighted by intrusive questions and insufficient information, as well as deficiencies in interpersonal relationships with providers, evidenced by inadequate therapeutic alliance, encouragement for emotional expression, and limited provider engagement. Additionally, the psychotherapy domain indicated a need for improved availability, choice, and effectiveness of services. The psychometric properties of the questionnaires were satisfactory with high Cronbach's alpha coefficients (> 0.70) and adequate corrected item-total correlations (≥ 0.30). The EFA results showed that the questionnaires were essentially unidimensional. An initial consultation with a surgeon and being older at the initial consultation were associated with a better care experience. In contrast, higher educational level, an initial consultation in a private practice, with an endocrinologist, were associated with a poorer care experience.
conclusionsThis survey highlighted key areas for improving the experience of medical transition for TGD individuals in France. Systematic use of PREMIUM-TRANS questionnaires could enable tracking of experience-related parameters over time, providing useful insights for providers and policymakers.
