A Sexual and Gender Minority Inclusive Tool to Identify and Reduce Psychological Distress Related to Vaginal Brachytherapy Treatment

Our ICVBT survey tool is designed to screen for "at-risk" patients, and provide a pathway for open dialogue between patients and physicians to potentially reduce undue harm during this important, yet sensitive treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such ICVBT survey tool to assess for a history of sexual trauma, and include SOGI and gender-inclusive questions. This adaptation has allowed our team to approach patients in a sensitive manner inclusive of their identity and prior experiences. Preliminary data is being collected and will be presented at the conference.
