Experiences of gender-diverse youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada: A longitudinal qualitative study.

Gender-diverse youth may experience unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Public health policy targeted at gender-diverse youth may consider addressing "upstream" disparities in healthcare and housing in order to support the rebuilding of queer and gender-diverse communities by gender-diverse people.
