Background: Transgender and non-binary (TNB) youth face disparities in sexual health risks compared with cisgender peers. Comprehensive sex education programs have the potential to result in delayed sexual debut, increased condom and contraceptive use, and reduced sexual risk-taking; however, little research has explored the specific sex education needs of TNB youth.
Aim: To use insights from TNB youth, parents of TNB youth, and healthcare affiliates to understand deficits in sex education experienced by TNB youth, and to elicit recommended content for a comprehensive and trans-inclusive sex education curriculum.
To assess youth and parent/caregiver satisfaction with care at a pediatric multidisciplinary gender clinic. Transgender/gender nonconforming youth (=33) and their parent/caregiver (=29) completed self-report questionnaires and individual interviews (=20) about experiences and satisfaction with care. Quantitatively, participants reported being extremely satisfied with care experiences (parents 97%; youth 94%).
