{"title":"Beyond stigma: Clinician bias in contraceptive counseling to sexual and gender minority youth.","authors":"Emily S Mann, Joline Hartheimer, Brooke W Bullington, Madeline J Thornton, Kavita Shah Arora, Bianca A Allison","doi":"10.1016/j.contraception.2024.110718","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.contraception.2024.110718","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth experience disparities in sexual and reproductive health; however, little is known about how clinicians engage in contraceptive counseling with this patient population.

For transgender patients, many clinicians focused on menstrual regulation and overlooked potential pregnancy risk.
