Summary
Recommendations regarding contraceptive counseling and reproductive health differ amongst
transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth compared to cis-gender youth. Limited existing
literature demonstrates the need for contraceptive counseling that moves beyond cis- and
heteronormative assumptions that start with pregnancy prevention and address concerns at the
intersection of gender identity.
The Investigator's qualitative study will focus on creating best practices regarding
equitable contraceptive counseling for TGD youth. The Investigator will recruit transgender
youth who are assigned female at birth, and currently or interested in using depo
medroxyprogesterone (DMPA). Through focus groups and semi-structured interviews, the
investigator hopes to guide providers in creating best practices and more equitable
contraceptive counseling for TGD youth and measure satisfaction of DMPA in TGD youth.
