We estimated the prevalence of past 6-month (P6M) physical and/or sexual IPV (hereafter IPV) experience and perpetration, identified their determinants, and assessed temporal trends, including the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We used data from the <i>Engage Cohort Study</i> (2017-2022) of GBM recruited using respondent-driven sampling in Montréal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) for determinants and self-reported P6M IPV were estimated using generalized estimating equations, accounting for attrition (inverse probability of censoring weights) and relevant covariates. Longitudinal trends of IPV were also assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Between 2017 and 2022, 1455 partnered GBM (median age 32 years, 82% gay, and 71% White) had at least one follow-up visit.

Similar factors were associated with IPV perpetration. IPV was stable over time; periods of COVID-19 restrictions were not associated with IPV changes in this cohort. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Prevalence of IPV was high among GBM.

It is vital that returning peripubertal patients are seen promptly to ensure time-sensitive assessment and provision of puberty suppression treatment where appropriate. This study investigates (1) how many referrals to the Child and Adolescent Health Service Gender Diversity Service at Perth Children's Hospital are deferred due to prepubertal status; and (2) how many deferred patients return peripubertally. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A retrospective review of all closed referrals to the service was conducted to determine the frequency of prepubertal deferral and peripubertal re-referral. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 995 referrals received (2014 to 2020), 552 were closed. The reason for closure was determined for 548 referrals (99.3%). Prepubertal status was the second-most frequent reason for closure, and the most frequent for birth-registered males. Twenty-five percent of all deferred prepubertal patients returned peripubertally, before audit closure. A greater return frequency (55.6%) was estimated for those older than 13 years at audit closure. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> High rates of prepubertal referral indicate the importance of pediatric gender services in providing information, advice, and reassurance to concerned families. With increasing service demand, high rates of return peripubertally have implications for service planning to ensure that returning peripubertal patients are seen promptly for time-sensitive care.
