Abstrakt: In health research, there is a need for comprehensive survey instruments capable of assessing the multidimensionality and variability of sex/gender. The research project DIVERGesTOOL was conducted in response to this need, which has become increasingly evident in recent years. The aim was to develop an application-oriented toolbox for the assessment of sex/gender diversity in quantitative health-related research in Germany.The development process followed a participatory design, as representatives of large epidemiological studies in Germany were directly involved. During four collaborative workshops, a toolbox was developed that contains several different elements. The basic items are a generally usable set of three different questionnaire items based on the two-step approach. They are recommended as a replacement for the binary sex or gender item that are currently routinely used in health-related research. In addition, the toolbox contains further exemplary questionnaire items for specific research questions or study populations. The developed items were supplemented with detailed instructions for their application and additional information. The toolbox is an open online resource accessible to any user ( https://www.uni-bremen.de/divergestool-projekt/divergestool-toolbox ).In the long term, the DIVERGesTOOL is intended to support researchers in integrating sex/gender diversity into their own research and thus to contribute to more sex/gender sensitivity in health-related research and valid findings.
