Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a new interdisciplinary education program aimed at children, adolescents, and young adults with differences of sex development (DSD) and their parents, focusing on participant satisfaction.
- The program included tailored medical information, peer support, and psychological assistance over two days, with satisfaction measured using an adapted ZUF-8 questionnaire, revealing consistently high scores across all age groups and parental participants.
- The findings suggest that the program was well-received regardless of age or diagnosis, and highlight the need for further analysis on its long-term impact on participants’ well-being and knowledge.
