[Introduction and development of the Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire authorized simplified Chinese translation]
Summary
The Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ) was translated into simplified Chinese (TWVQ-SC) and validated. The TWVQ-SC is a reliable tool for transgender women to assess their voice perception and psychosocial impact.
Area of Science:
- Speech and Language Pathology
- Psychometrics
- Transgender Health
Context:
- Voice perception and its psychosocial impact are crucial for transgender women's well-being.
- Existing assessment tools may not be culturally adapted or validated for Chinese-speaking transgender populations.
- Accurate self-assessment tools are needed to guide clinical interventions.
Purpose:
- To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ) into simplified Chinese (TWVQ-SC).
- To evaluate the reliability and validity of the TWVQ-SC in a Chinese-speaking transgender women population.
- To establish TWVQ-SC as a clinical self-assessment tool for transgender women's voice.
Summary:
- The TWVQ-SC was developed through translation, back translation, and expert review.
- Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (0.97) and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.84).
- Validity was confirmed through factor analysis, correlation with VHI-10 (0.85), and discriminant validity testing.
Impact:
- The TWVQ-SC demonstrates excellent reliability and validity.
- This validated questionnaire can be used by clinicians and transgender women for voice self-assessment.
- Facilitates better understanding and management of voice-related concerns in Chinese-speaking transgender women.
