Gender Health QOL

Overview

As the only specialized pediatric gender clinic in Indiana, our program must ensure that we are providing high-quality, affirming care that meets the needs of a diverse population of youth and families from across the state. We must also ensure that providers throughout the larger Riley system of care are receiving the education and support they need in order to provide youth with access to affirming spaces, whatever their specific healthcare needs.

Description

This study will explore patients’ and caregivers’ satisfaction with services provided by our team as well as their quality of life after receiving care in our program, enabling us to adapt our approach to care in order to best meet the needs of this vulnerable and under-served pediatric population.
