Online learning modules improve confidence in providing gender affirming care for youth.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Healthcare providers often lack training and education in caring for gender diverse youth. We aimed to explore changes in provider confidence and behaviors following the implementation of an online learning course focused on gender affirming care for youth.

Methods

An asynchronous, online training consisting of 2 modules was made available in October 2021. Participants were asked to complete 3 surveys for each module they completed: a pre-survey, a post-survey, and a 3-month follow-up survey. Surveys included demographic data and an assessment of provider confidence and self-reported behaviors related to the provision of gender affirming care for adolescents that were in line with the objectives outlined in each module. Paired sample t-tests were used to compare part
