Identifying the Resource Needs of Young People with Differences of Sex Development.

Adolescents with differences of sex development (DSD) often have complex medical, surgical, and psychological care needs and require age-appropriate resources. This cross-sectional study describes the past and current experiences of adolescents and young adults with DSD and their need for information and support. Participants aged 14−30 years with DSD diagnoses were identified, either from departmental records at the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), Melbourne, Australia, or from the private practice of a gynecologist linked to RCH.
