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

现在有1%的年轻人认为自己是跨性别者或多元性别（TGD），越来越多的人正在接受专业的性别确认临床护理。本研究将前瞻性地评估一大批接受此类护理的TGD儿童和青少年的健康结果和福祉。通过这样做，这项研究将解决这一重要的新兴卫生保健领域的关键知识差距，从而最大限度地提高卫生成果，并尽量减少对这一弱势群体的伤害。

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.
