4 years ago, I received a stethoscope from @UMichMedSchool. It has served as a constant reminder that in order to heal, we must listen. Grateful to learn from mentors committed to listening and uplifting the communities we serve - in clinic, in the OR, and in our research.

In May 2023, we estimated increased drive times to reach gender-affirming care in @JAMA_current: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
Since that time, the impacts on young people and their families have worsened. This is such an important and devastating report:

Katie had done all she could to prepare for this road trip. She’d packed candy, researched how to change a tire, and she’d spent hours on Google Maps, searching for the closest Walgreens in Alabama. But much remained unclear. Would they make it by noon for her son Ray’s telehealth appointment? Would the pharmacy give him testosterone?wapo.st/43N0wFm

New study in @JAMA_current on drive times for families seeking gender-affirming care for teens.
State bans have made it so that 25% of families now need to drive 8+ hrs to get care (up from 1.4% pre-bans).
Median drive times by state:
FL: 9 hrs
TX: 7 hrs
AR: 6 hrs

Trans youth already face numerous barriers - from familial support and discrimination to insurance coverage and costs. Increased travel times may further exacerbate delayed treatment, inability to get care, and mental health outcomes.
