Improving the healthcare experiences of transgender and gender-diverse youths: A mixed-methods systematic review of interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Health disparities are commonly identified within the transgender and gender-diverse community. Gender minority stress theory expands the existing minority stress theory to identify the unique stressors of this community. The outcomes of these stressors and disparities are recurring negative experiences among transgender and gender-diverse youths and subsequent care avoidance. This mixed-methods systematic review aims to identify and critically analyze the effect of interventions to improve the healthcare experiences of transgender and gender-diverse youths.

Methods

Studies published from inception until April 2023 were sought from CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, Academic Search Complete, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, ERIC, SocIndex, target journals, trial registr
