غلبه بر موانع استفاده از مراقبت های بهداشتی توسط جوانان غیرقانونی ترانسدان / جنسیت

Transgender and gender non-conforming youth report significantly lower levels of physical and mental health and health care utilization compared to their peers according to a recent study. TGNC youth must overcome unique barriers to access health-affirming health care. It is important that providers develop competency to work with adolescents whose perceived gender expression transgresses social expectations. Although many health care providers did not receive education about gender identity in school, all health care providers have access to resources outlining how to support transgender youth. Resources are provided to help health care providers help reduce health disparities in this important and valued population.
