Scientific Studies and Papers
Last updated: February 26, 2023
Note: to limit what is here and give credence to the content, only studies with multiple professionals or a single professional with peer reviews noted that are also posted on a recognized medical site will be included in this list. In some cases, there are news articles written that summarize the findings in more plan language. In those cases, I will link to the article only if it links to the official study or has a viable footnote reference to the appropriate medical site. The World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care (SOC) is an internationally recognized document where leading medical and mental health professionals come together to determine appropriate levels of care. This document has 68 pages of referenced studies. Rather than copy the exhaustive list to this page for Healthcare, I will link to the document to have that vast compilation included here. https://le.utah.gov/~2023/bills/sbillint/SB0016S01_ComparedWith_SB0016.pdf
