| Proposed Method/Science |
Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines |
| Project Summary |
Disparities and barriers to health care are well-documented among gender-diverse individuals. General guidelines for health care of gender-diverse people—generally focused on transition-related care—have been developed, but substantially less attention has been paid to gender-diverse individuals in guidelines of specific health services or conditions. General practitioners typically rely on service- or health condition-specific guidance and may not understand or consider implications for gender-diverse individuals. The goal of the project is to improve health care guidance for gender-diverse individuals by providing guideline producers and health care practitioners with information about the degree that existing guidelines address needs of gender-diverse individuals and examples where they have been addressed appropriately. |
