Abstract
Minority stress theory outlines the importance of understanding individual and community-level resilience as integral to stress-coping processes among sexual and gender minority individuals (i.e., LGBTQ). Minority stress is a risk factor for several physical and psychological problems in sexual and gender minorities but is largely understudied in transgender/gender-diverse (TGD) adolescents. The availability of psychometrically sound measures of adolescent minority stress can help increase resilience by improving clinician assessment and consultative treatment planning in this area. This poster will profile an original research study examining whether an existing measure of minority stress and resilience among TGD adults could be a reliable and valid measure for medical professionals to employ with TGD adolescents seeking gender-affirming care.
