Introduction: Body dysmorphic disorder is very prevalent in transgender people. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the revised Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive disorder scale for body dysmorphic disorder in transgenders.
Methods: This research method was descriptive-analytical and a type of psychometric study. All transgenders residing in Tehran in the second half of 2024 constituted the statistical population of this study.

Body Dysmorphic Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire, and the Body Monitoring and Body Shame subscales of the Mcinley & Hyde Objectified Body Consciousness Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and concurrent validity were used to examine the validity of the questionnaire, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to examine the reliability of the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and AMOS version 22 software.
Results: The confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed this questionnaire's three-factor structure. (X2/DF=2/067, RMSEA=0/069, GFI=0/94, NFI=0.96, CFI=0/98). The concurrent validity of the questionnaire, which indicated a positive correlation of the Revised Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder with concerns about body deformity (r = 0.888, P< 0.01), body monitoring (r = 0.461, P< 0.01) and body shame, (r = 0.532, P< 0.01) and a negative correlation with self-esteem (r = -0.484, P< 0.01), seemed favorable. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.95.
Conclusion: In general, it can be concluded that the Revised Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder has good validity and reliability in the transgender community.
