Gender minority stress and resilience factors associated with persistent depressive symptoms among transgender and gender diverse adolescents and young adults accessing gender-affirming medical care.
Psychometric Validity of the Transgender Congruence Scale in a Sample of Transgender and Gender Diverse Adolescents
Introduction The Transgender Congruence Scale (TCS) assesses appearance congruence and identity acceptance and has been validated among samples of TGD adults. Although the TCS has been used in studies of TGD adolescents, no studies have specifically examined the psychometric properties of the TCS in exclusively adolescent samples. The current study examined whether the TCS retains its construct and psychometric validity in a sample of TGD adolesc…
Minority stress and resilience experiences in adolescents and young adults with intersex variations/differences of sex development
Minority stress is an important contributor to mental health disparities among sexual and gender minority communities. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with intersex variations/differences of sex development (I/DSD) frequently experience mental health symptoms which may be influenced by minority stressors. This study explored minority stress and resilience experiences of AYA with I/DSD and evaluated the applicability of the current minority str…
The Gender Self-Report
Gender identity is a core component of human experience, critical to account for in broad health, development, psychosocial research, and clinical practice. Yet, the psychometric characterization of gender has been impeded due to challenges in modeling the myriad gender self-descriptors, statistical power limitations related to multigroup analyses, and equity-related concerns regarding the accessibility of complex gender terminology. Therefore, t…

Minority Stress Factors Associated With Depression and Anxiety Among Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Youth
Experiences of Gender Minority Stress in Cisgender Parents of Transgender/Gender-Expansive Prepubertal Children
Per minority stress theory, sexual and gender minorities are susceptible to bias-related social stressors that can internalize and increase their susceptibility to poor physical and mental health. Parents of transgender/gender-expansive (TGE) children may also encounter a number of stressors on account of their child's gender experience. No known research had examined how these stressors align within a minority stress framework. This qualitative …
Positive STEPS – a randomized controlled efficacy trial of an adaptive intervention for strengthening adherence to antiretroviral HIV treatment among youth
ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT03092531 , registered March 28, 2017
Freezing for the future
Background: The medical community is paying increasing attention to the healthcare needs of adolescents diagnosed with gender dysphoria who desire medical interventions to bring their bodies and gender identity into alignment. Transgender (i.e. trans) youth initiating gender-affirming hormone treatment (estrogen for birth-assigned males, testosterone for birth-assigned females) after progressing through their endogenous puberty may experience imp…
Developmental trajectories of aggression from late childhood through adolescence
Although numerous investigations of overt aggressive and antisocial trajectories have been undertaken, there is a dearth of literature examining gender differences and similarities in trajectory patterns and their correlates. To address these gaps, we investigated gender differences in the prevalence rates, predictive validity during transition to adulthood, childhood risk factors, and adolescent correlates of different trajectories of teacher‐re…
