最近的研究证明，变性青少年的心理健康存在显著差异。然而，现有的文献受到性别认同的模糊可操作性和跨特定应激源的有限测量的阻碍。在本文中，我们(1)介绍和描述性别少数青年(GMY)研究，这是一项关于跨性别青年差异的大规模研究；(2)提供证据，证明使用社交媒体招募不同样本的美国变性人和顺性青年的可行性。Facebook和Instagram的广告瞄准了14-18岁的青少年，以完成一项在线调查。参与者(N=3318)自我报告出生时分配的性别和当前的性别认同、心理健康症状以及变性人特有的压力源和里程碑。青少年包括1369名顺性(982名顺性女性；387名顺性男性)，1938名变性人(986名变性人男性；132名变性人女性；639名出生时非二进制分配的女性；84名出生时非二进制分配的男性；84名出生时质疑性别认同的女性；13名出生时质疑性别认同的男性)和11名双性青少年。GMY的这项研究是专门为研究变性人和顺性人青年之间的心理健康差异而招募的第一个全国性的美国青少年样本。我们论证了使用社交媒体广告和放弃父母许可来招募大样本青少年的可行性，包括少数性别青年的小样本。我们弥补了现有文献中的局限性，包括出生时分配的性别、当前性别认同的适当衡量标准，以及关于变性人特定压力源和过渡里程碑的详细问题。
Recent research has documented significant mental health disparities for transgender adolescents. However, the extant literature is hindered by vague operationalizations of gender identity and limited measurement of trans-specific stressors. In this article, we (1) introduce and describe the Gender Minority Youth (GMY) Study, a large-scale study of transgender youth disparities; and (2) provide evidence of the feasibility of using social media to recruit a diverse sample of U.S. transgender and cisgender youth. Facebook and Instagram advertisements targeted 14–18-year-old adolescents to complete an online survey. Participants (N = 3318) self-reported gender assigned at birth and current gender identity, mental health symptoms, and transgender-specific stressors and milestones. Adolescents included 1369 cisgender (n = 982 cisgender female; n = 387 cisgender male), 1938 transgender (n = 986 transgender male; n = 132 transgender female; n = 639 nonbinary assigned female at birth; n = 84 nonbinary assigned male at birth; n = 84 questioning gender identity assigned female at birth; n = 13 questioning gender identity assigned male at birth), and 11 intersex youth. The GMY Study is the first nationwide sample of U.S. adolescents recruited specifically for a study of mental health disparities between transgender and cisgender youth. We demonstrate the feasibility of using social media advertisements and a waiver of parental permission to recruit a large sample of adolescents, including subsamples of gender minority youth. We remedied limitations in the existing literature by including appropriate measures of gender assigned at birth, current gender identity, and detailed questions about transgender-specific stressors and transition milestones.
