In recent years, the national Gender Identity Service for individuals under 18 years of age in Denmark has seen a considerable increase in referrals of youngsters during puberty. Given this development, it is important to deepen our understanding of the characteristics of contemporary youngsters seeking help for gender incongruence. This understanding can serve as the foundation for improving current treatment regimens by ensuring optimal individual assessment and care. In this study, we aim to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, health profiles, and treatment trajectories in detail, as well as any changes in these characteristics, of all transgender and gender-diverse youngsters referred to the Gender Identity Service in Denmark from 2016 through 2022. : This is a retrospective observational study of a national cohort comprising all individuals under 18 years of age referred to the Danish Gender Identity Service from 1 January 2016 to 1 January 2023. We will use data from medical records obtained at routine visits from the first assessment through repeated visits. Data on demographics, physical and mental health profiles, and information regarding gender identity will be collected and analyzed. The characteristics of those individuals who progressed to hormone therapy will be compared to those who did not. This study aims to enhance our understanding of the characteristics and needs of contemporary youngsters with gender identity issues. : The scientific evidence for the assessment and treatment of gender incongruence in youngsters is limited. The characteristics of youngsters seeking healthcare for gender incongruence today may differ from earlier.
近年来，丹麦国家为18岁以下青少年提供的性别认同服务机构收到的青春期青少年转诊人数大幅增加。鉴于这一发展态势，深入了解当代寻求性别认同障碍帮助的青少年的特征非常重要。这种了解可为通过确保最佳个体评估和护理来改进当前治疗方案奠定基础。在本研究中，我们旨在详细描述2016年至2022年期间转介至丹麦性别认同服务机构的所有跨性别和性别多样化青少年的社会人口学特征、健康状况和治疗轨迹，以及这些特征的任何变化。：这是一项对全国队列的回顾性观察研究，该队列包括2016年1月1日至2023年1月1日转介至丹麦性别认同服务机构的所有18岁以下个体。我们将使用从首次评估到多次复诊的常规就诊中获取的病历数据。将收集并分析有关人口统计学、身心健康状况以及性别认同的信息。将进展至激素治疗的个体的特征与未进展至激素治疗的个体的特征进行比较。本研究旨在增进我们对当代有性别认同问题的青少年的特征和需求的理解。：关于青少年性别认同障碍评估和治疗的科学证据有限。如今寻求性别认同障碍医疗服务的青少年的特征可能与以前不同。
