Trans20: A longitudinal cohort study to improve outcomes for transgender children and adolescents

1%的年轻人现在认为自己是变性人或性别多元化(TGD)，越来越多的人表示愿意接受专科性别肯定的临床护理。这项研究将前瞻性地评估接受这种护理的大量TGD儿童和青少年的健康结果和幸福感。通过这样做，这项研究将解决这一重要和新兴的卫生保健领域的关键知识差距，以便最大限度地提高健康结果，并将对这一弱势群体的伤害降至最低。

1% of young people now identify as transgender or gender diverse (TGD), and increasing numbers are presenting for specialist gender-affirming clinical care. This study will prospectively evaluate the health outcomes and well being of a large cohort of TGD children and adolescents who received such care. By doing so, this research will address critical knowledge gaps in this important and emerging area of health care so as to maximise health outcomes and minimise harm for this vulnerable group.
