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.

However, as telehealth use grew during the COVID-19 pandemic, it presented an opportunity to enhance care for this population.
