Abstract:
An electronic survey of transgender and nonbinary (TNB) adolescents was administered between June and August 2023 to identify potential facilitators of gender-affirming medical care (GAMC). Results indicated the most important facilitator was being able to access GAMC from their regular doctor. Accessing care via school-based health centers, a telemedicine visit with a gender specialist, and sharing videos about GAMC with parents were more important to those who had not been seen in a clinic that provides GAMC. Overall, this study offers important insights into how to improve access to GAMC for TNB adolescents who want but are not receiving this care.
