Depression and anxiety in transgender and non-binary adolescents: prevalence and associations between adolescent and caregiver reports. (English)
1 reference
Transgender/non-binary (TNB) adolescents are at increased risk for mental health concerns, and caregiver awareness is important to facilitate access to care. (English)
1 reference
Yet, limited research has examined caregiver awareness of TNB mental health. (English)
1 reference
Thus, we examined (1) the prevalence of internalizing symptoms (depression, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety) among TNB adolescents and (2) associations between adolescent and caregiver reports of adolescent mental health symptoms. (English)
1 reference
TNB adolescents (N = 75) aged 12-18 and a caregiver were recruited from a multidisciplinary gender clinic in Ohio. (English)
1 reference
Adolescents self-reported their mental health symptoms via the CDI and SCARED. (English)
1 reference
Caregivers reported their perceptions of the adolescent's mental health symptoms via the CASI-5. (English)
1 reference
Descriptive statistics assessed participant characteristics, adolescent self-reported mental health symptoms, and caregiver proxy reports of adolescent mental health symptoms. (English)
1 reference
Pearson's correlations and scatterplots were used to compare adolescent and caregiver reports and McNemar tests assessed if the differences were statistically significant. (English)
1 reference
Most TNB adolescents reported elevated symptoms of depression (59%), generalized anxiety (75%), separation anxiety (52%), and social anxiety (78%). (English)
1 reference
Caregiver and adolescent reports were significantly correlated for depression (r = .36, p = .002), separation anxiety (r = .39, p < .001), and social anxiety (r = .47, p < .001). (English)
1 reference
Caregiver and adolescent reports of generalized anxiety were not significantly correlated (r = .21, p = .08). (English)
1 reference
McNemar tests were significant (all p < .001), such that adolescents' reports met clinical cutoffs far more than their caregivers' reports. (English)
1 reference
Though adolescent and caregiver reports were low to moderately correlated, youth reports were consistently higher, suggesting the importance of interventions to increase caregiver understanding of TNB adolescent mental health. (English)
1 reference
• Transgender/non-binary adolescents are at high risk for mental health concerns and caregivers are essential to coordinate care. (English)
1 reference
• This study expands the diagnostic mental health sub-categories examined in transgender/non-binary adolescents, noting elevated symptoms of separation and social anxiety. (English)
1 reference
• Transgender/non-binary adolescents reported more symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, and social anxiety than caregivers. (English)
