Editorial: Sexual and Reproductive Health Among Transgender and Non-Binary Adolescents and Young Adults
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines sexual and reproductive health (SRH) as a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in all functions and processes related to sexuality and the reproductive system (1). While SRH is critical to general health, well-being, and quality of life for all people, more than 1% of adolescents and young adults (AYA) who identify as transgender and non-binary (TNB) have unique SRH needs and often lack access to culturally competent and age appropriate SRH care and education. This collection of articles spans the four key domains of SRH for TNB youth including (1) romantic/sexual relationships and experiences, and sexual function/satisfaction; (2) contraception and pregnancy prevention; (3) fertility and family building; and (4) HIV/STI prevention intervention.
