Abstract:Background: Although E-health has been found to have multiple benefits over traditional treatment methods, no existing scoping reviews could be sourced that specifically focus on e-health interventions conducted on the support network of transgender individuals. Objectives: This scoping review aims to identify the key characteristics of e-health interventions targeting the support network of transgender individuals. Design: Online databases were sourced for interventional studies published between 2015 and 2024. Studies had to be conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Results: The search resulted in 11 eligible studies. Most interventions included a video-based (n = 6) or online- synchronous (n = 5) component. Studies mostly focused on (1) increasing transgender knowledge and competence (n = 7), (2) reducing transgender bias (n = 5) or (3) increasing supportive behaviors (n = 6). The quality scores for the studies were categorized as either low (n = 10) or moderate (n = 1). The majority of interventions target healthcare staff (n = 6) and students (n = 3). Conclusion: E-health interventions have shown significant results when targeting the support network of transgender people. However, due to limited transparency and the high risk of bias, better reporting of the study details is needed. Additionally, future studies should address the full support group.
