Emotional and behavioural difficulties in gender minority compared to cisgender adolescents: identity specific findings from a contemporary national study
In this population-based study, emotional and behavioural difficulties were reported most frequently by adolescents who identified as nonbinary and another gender identity, then transgender, then cisgender. Health and educational practitioners need to be aware that emotional and behavioural difficulties differ across gender minority identities.
