Summary: | Purpose:
To assess youth and parent/caregiver satisfaction with care at a pediatric multidisciplinary gender clinic.
Methods:
Transgender/gender nonconforming youth (
n
=33) and their parent/caregiver (
n
=29) completed self-report questionnaires and individual interviews (
n
=20) about experiences and satisfaction with care.
Results:
Quantitatively, participants reported being extremely satisfied with care experiences (parents 97%; youth 94%). Qualitatively, main themes included (1) affirmation due to use of preferred name/pronouns, (2) access barriers due to scheduling and readiness assessments, and (3) positive interactions with Care Navigator.
Conclusion:
Youth and parents/caregivers are highly satisfied with multidisciplinary, coordinated health care for transgender/gender nonconforming youth; however, some challenges remain. |
