Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to the longitudinal outcomes of gender identity in children study, what were the final results of the secondary data base analysis, and what are the preliminary findings from the prospective cohort study, which were due to be reported in 2020 and 2023 respectively.

The Outcomes and Predictors of Outcome for Children and Young People Referred to UK Gender Identity Development Services: A longitudinal Investigation (LOGIC) is a longitudinal study that looks into the development of gender identity in children and young people in the United Kingdom. The published study protocol states that “The study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at both conferences and stakeholder events”. Following granting of an extension, partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the study is funded until July 2025. As an independent study, it is for the research team to decide when to submit their findings for publication. The study team has published several papers and we would expect to see further publications this year, in line with National Institute for Health and Care Research policy on open access publication.
