Outcomes Research on Telemedicine-Delivered Gender-Affirming Health Care for Transgender Youth Is Needed Now: A Call to Action

et al. 2023

This article is a call to action for outcomes research on telemedicine-delivered gender-affirming health care (GAH) for transgender youth. Transgender youth, especially rural youth, are severely underserved and face many obstacles to GAH. Telemedicine reduces access barriers for underserved populations, but telemedicine for this population can be complex. Our literature search identified only five studies exploring the use of telemedicine for GAH for transgender youth. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related regulatory and reimbursement changes for telemedicine may have increased transgender youths' access to such care. Research is urgently needed to increase understanding regarding access, satisfaction, safety, and health-related outcomes of telemedicine-delivered GAH for transgender youth.
