Abstract Research evidence suggests that education can play an important role in a family’s acceptance and support of a trans(gender) young person. However, there is a lack of robust evidence around the impact of education programs for these families. This article reports the findings of a mixed-methods evaluation of an online education program developed for families of trans young people. Surveys were administered before and after participation in the education program to assess the impact of the program on several measures, including trans-related knowledge, self-reflection and insight, family problem-solving, family communication, self-efficacy, and views of gender identity. Interviews were used to explore family members’ experiences of the program, its perceived impact, and recommendations for further development. The survey findings revealed a statistically significant increase in knowledge scores from the pre-education program to post-education program. Interview participants felt the education program was accessible and easy to use and the majority reported learning about trans-related issues from the program. Fewer participants reported developing skills around self-reflection, problem-solving, and communication following participation in the program. The findings from this evaluation add to the evidence base concerning the efficacy of education for families of trans young people, with further implications and recommendations highlighted.

跨性别青年家庭性别平等积极教育计划的混合方法评估

摘要研究证据表明，教育可以在家庭对跨性别（年轻人）的接受和支持中发挥重要作用。但是，关于这些家庭的教育计划的影响，缺乏有力的证据。本文报告了针对跨性别年轻人家庭开发的在线教育计划的混合方法评估结果。在参加教育计划之前和之后进行了调查，以评估该计划对若干措施的影响，包括跨性别知识，自我反思和洞察力，解决家庭问题，家庭沟通，自我效能感以及性别观点身份。访谈被用来探索家庭成员对该计划的体验，其感知影响以及对进一步发展的建议。调查结果显示，从学前教育计划到学后教育计划，知识得分的统计显着增加。受访者认为该教育计划可访问且易于使用，大多数人报告从该计划中学到了有关跨性别的问题。参加该计划后，较少的参与者报告了围绕自我反思，解决问题和沟通的技能。这项评估的结果为有关反性别青年家庭的教育效力提供了证据基础，并强调了进一步的含义和建议。受访者认为该教育计划可访问且易于使用，大多数人报告从该计划中学到了有关跨性别的问题。参加该计划后，较少的参与者报告了围绕自我反思，解决问题和沟通的技能。这项评估的结果为有关反性别青年家庭的教育效力提供了证据基础，并强调了进一步的含义和建议。受访者认为该教育计划可访问且易于使用，大多数人报告从该计划中学到了有关跨性别的问题。参加该计划后，较少的参与者报告了围绕自我反思，解决问题和沟通的技能。这项评估的结果为有关反性别青年家庭的教育效力提供了证据基础，并强调了进一步的含义和建议。
