The transgender and gender-diverse community has higher rates of suicide attempts and suicide compared with the general population.Cross-sectional analyses have evaluated the association of GAHT with suicide with discrepant results. One study of 380 transgender and gender-diverse individuals from Canada reported that individuals undergoing GAHT were about half as likely to have considered suicide over the past year, compared with those who desire GAHT.The SIDAS has previously been used to assess suicidality in one online survey enrolling 382 transgender and gender-diverse individuals from Australia and New Zealand.We also report a significant reduction in suicidality between the intervention and standard care groups as assessed by item 9 of the PHQ-9. The response to PHQ-9 item 9 has been found to predict subsequent suicide attempt and suicide death in the general population.
