abstract="It is possible and necessary to provide trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals with gender-affirming care (GAC) in primary care settings. A known risk of increased suicidality among TGNC individuals and a lack of provider training on prescribing gender-affirming hormones (GAH) in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia highlighted a need for building capacity around GAC delivery. A referral network was established across the province, which reduced wait times to access GAH by several months.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
