HealthDay (6/7) reports, “Only 29 percent of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria receive a gender dysphoria-related diagnosis (GDRD), and 25 percent are prescribed gender-affirming hormonal treatment (GAHT),” investigators concluded in a study that included “958 gender-diverse children and adolescents who did not have a GDRD or GAHT at index.” Researchers then compared “the rates of first GDRD and first GAHT prescription.” The findings were published online June 7 in Pediatrics.
