Role of Pharmacists in Transgender Health

Background:
This is a data record for a two-phase study which explored the role of the pharmacist in transgender healthcare by investigating trans and gender diverse people’s expectations of pharmacists and by evaluating the attitudes and practice of pharmacists in the provision of this care (Stage One). A sequential exploratory mixed method design was applied in Stage One where first, qualitative interviews with trans and gender diverse people and pharmacists residing in Queensland, Australia were conducted using narrative enquiry. Data were imported into the NVivo data management software and then analyzed, coded and themes were derived. Secondly, interview data informed the development of a survey for pharmacists administered nationally using a Qualtrics platform. The combined data from this first phase informed the design, delivery, and evaluation of a training program for pharmacists and pharmacy students to equip them with knowledge of trans and gender diverse care and provide better health outcomes for this underserved population (Stage Two). Surveys were analyzed using SPSS. Pre-and post-test training surveys completed by the participating pharmacists and pharmacy students evaluated the change in their awareness and knowledge about trans and gender diverse care. Pre-and post-training surveys were analyzed using SPSS. Three-month outcome evaluation interviews with pharmacists explored the impact of the training program on their practice of providing care for trans and gender diverse people. Interview data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six step framework for thematic analysis.
