170. Co-Designing an Online Healthy Relationship Tool With a Nationally Representative Advisory Board of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth

Transgender and gender expansive (TGE) youth have high rates of sexually transmitted infections and possibly of unintentended pregnancies compared; risk is not evenly distributed by race/ethnicity or gender. TGE youth deserve access to affirming sex education but have different needs than their cisgender peers. Unaffirming sex education can be frankly harmful. Little work has used a supportive, resilience-based framework or a human-centered approach.
