Mental health care research priorities for trans and gender-diverse young people: Findings from community consultations on improving trauma-related mental health care for trans and gender-diverse communities

Introduction Research on mental health care with trans and gender-diverse (TGD) people presents unique challenges as it brings together two historically complex contexts for TGD communities. While ethical standards and recommendations for research do exist (e.g. Bauer et al., Citation2019; Puckett et al., Citation2023, Veale et al., Citation2022), it is only recently that there has been a turn toward community-engaged research, with communities calling for research led by TGD people and focused on community goals and needs.
