Reconstruction of ethical arguments for puberty blockade in adolescents with gender dysphoria by means of expert interviews
Contact: Stefan Siegel
Funding: own funds
The number of especially biologically female adolescents with gender dysphoria has increased inexplicably in recent years. The pubertal blockade with GnRH analogues has increasingly established itself as a drug therapy option at university centers. However, there is a lively ethical discourse on whether and how this treatment can be justified or not. The work attempts to reconstruct and systematize the various expert arguments gained through interviews, Pro-and-Contra puberty blockade.

School nursing is internationally an established profession in nursing. School-based nurses help maintain students' health, identify health risks, and manage health issues. In a transnational model project, the implementation of school health professionals in 30 schools is monitored and evaluated. To evaluate the work of the school's own nurses, qualitative interviews are conducted with students and focus groups with parents and teaching staff. A standardized survey of these groups of actors also provides information about the health situation at the schools. In addition, participatory workshops with school health professionals and various expert interviews will be evaluated.
