Research summary
Internationally, the need for longitudinal evidence to inform the care of gender diverse children and young people is well established in the literature. The proposed study aims to investigate the mental and physical health outcomes of children and young people referred to the UK’s Gender Identity Development Service. It will compare the outcomes of those who pursue physical intervention to those who do not, and explore the impact of various factors over time. Furthermore, it will describe the experiences of those referred onto the service and their families in order for us to better understand their changing perceptions of gender identity within the context of their lives, the factors that may influence such changes, and how their experiences of help seeking, health services and therapies can be improved.
