摘要
Health care barriers are linked to family-level stress. This study examined how barriers to gender-affirming health care were associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms among parents of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth (ages 9-18). Parents of TGD youth from across the United States completed a survey on barriers to accessing gender-affirming health care for their child, as well as on their own anxiety and depressive symptoms (n = 1197). Experiencing barriers to gender-affirming health care were associated with higher parent anxiety and depressive symptoms, suggesting that limiting service access is linked with negative outcomes among parents of TGD youth.
