A recent study found that telehealth supported gender-diverse youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing visit completion and lowering cancellation rates.
Recent research published in Telemedicine and e-Health showed that telehealth services supported healthcare access for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth within Seattle Children’s Gender Clinic (SCGC) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Historically, TGD youth have faced numerous health disparities when obtaining care, largely due to discrimination that can come in various forms.
However, as telehealth use grew during the COVID-19 pandemic, it presented an opportunity to enhance care for this population.
