This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of online and homeschool attendance in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth.
Caregivers of 12- to 17-year-olds participated in a phone survey about school attendance. Subjects included TGD youth receiving care in a gender health clinic and youth receiving care in a pediatric endocrinology/diabetes (PED) clinic.
Parents of 83 TGD and 83 PED youth participated in the study. Current/past enrollment in a nontraditional school setting was higher among TGD than PED youth (37.3% vs. 19.3%; p = .01). In addition, 14.5% of TGD and 7.2% of PED youth had transferred between traditional school settings (public, private, and charter) for psychosocial reasons.
Approximately half of the TGD youth had either attended a nontraditional school setting or changed schools for psychosocial reasons, compared with approximately one fourth of PED youth (51.8% vs. 26.5%, p = .001). This suggests that traditional school environments present significant psychological difficulties for TGD adolescents.
本研究旨在调查跨性别和性别多样化（TGD）青年的在线和在家上学的流行情况。
12 至 17 岁青少年的照顾者参与了一项关于学校出勤率的电话调查。研究对象包括在性别健康诊所接受护理的 TGD 青年和在儿科内分泌/糖尿病（PED）诊所接受护理的青年。
共有 83 名 TGD 和 83 名 PED 青年的家长参与了这项研究。与 PED 青年相比，TGD 青年当前/过去在非传统学校环境中的入学率更高（37.3%比 19.3%；p=0.01）。此外，14.5%的 TGD 青年和 7.2%的 PED 青年因心理社会原因在传统学校环境（公立、私立和特许学校）之间转学。
与 PED 青年相比（51.8%比 26.5%，p=0.001），约一半的 TGD 青年要么上过非传统学校，要么因心理社会原因转校，而大约四分之一的 PED 青年有过这种情况。这表明传统的学校环境给 TGD 青少年带来了严重的心理困难。
