Abstract:
Gender diverse youth are incredibly resilient but face significant stigma and marginalization. In this article, we argue that in the face of these challenges, researchers must work collaboratively with gender diverse youth and caregivers to identify and address the most important issues affecting them. We use our Navigating Gender Together Project as an example of using community advisory boards in community-engaged research. Although community engagement requires more resources, it overwhelmingly enriches research and increases its relevance for the community. Relevant, evidence-based research is critical in supporting gender diverse youth and their families.
