    A new issue brief developed by the AAMC Center for Health Justice, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Maryland and The Ohio State University, analyzes the 2023 landscape of legislation banning gender-affirming medical care (GAMC) for transgender youth. The brief underscores the notion that to achieve health equity and ensure all communities thrive, it is critical to identify and rectify discriminatory policies, laws, regulations, and practices that intentionally limit opportunity for health and well-being.
