Primary care feels more comfortable: A meta-ethnography of transgender people accessing hormone therapy in primary care
Primary care is a suitable setting for access to hormone therapy within the context of an informed consent model of care. An increased focus on medical education could help overcome lack of provider familiarity with the new model, and gender affirming care in general. Overall, we found that the informed consent model of primary care provision of hormone therapy is highly desirable and effective for transgender people, but could be improved with better education of providers.
