Director’s Desk: HHS & NIH Evidence Review on Pediatric Gender Dysphoria — Expert Panel Discussion

In this episode of The Director’s Desk, NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya hosts a roundtable with the primary authors of the newly released HHS peer-reviewed report, “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices.” This landmark review evaluates the scientific evidence behind pediatric gender dysphoria treatments — including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions — and concludes that these “sex-rejecting procedures” carry substantial and long-term risks for children and adolescents.
