What Will It Take to Reduce Suicide Among Transgender North Carolinians by 2030?

Abstract

Transgender youth face health disparities in suicidality, which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Health care providers should advocate for upstream interventions to reduce suicide disparities, including Medicaid expansion, family acceptance therapy, improved access to name and gender marker changes, continuation of telehealth, and creation of trauma-informed schools.
