Study Reveals Low Rates of Gender-Affirming Medication Among Adolescents

Credited from: THEHILL

  • Less than 1 in 1,000 adolescents with commercial insurance received gender-affirming medication from 2018 to 2022, according to a new study.
  • Researchers analyzed data from over 5 million patients aged 8 to 17, finding 926 received puberty blockers and 1,927 received hormones.
  • As legal discussions continue, 26 states have enacted laws restricting gender-affirming care for minors, and the Supreme Court is reviewing related cases.
  • The study highlights that gender-affirming care is associated with improved psychological functioning for transgender youth, despite ongoing controversy.
  • Lead researcher Landon Hughes expressed hope that these findings would help alleviate concerns about the prevalence of such care among adolescents.
