Twelve providers (eight institutions) participating in a Gender and Sex Diversity Fertility Working Group completed a survey assessing their hospital's transgender, disorders/differences of sex development (DSD), and fertility healthcare teams. Participants also prioritized the development of a: (1) Provider Assessment Tool (questionnaire assessing knowledge/feelings about future fertility), or (2) decision aid (DA). Healthcare team presence by institution: transgender (6/8; 75%), DSD (75%), and fertility preservation (75%). Two-thirds of providers reported that the DA was most needed. Respondents recommended the DA to: help manage complex information, have a take-home reference, and provide neutral information. Other identified resource needs included: fertility specialists in clinic and financial resources.
