Abstract
This research highlighted the importance of clinicians taking an exploratory and individualized approach to the sensitive process of disclosing a diagnosis related to diverse sex development to young adults. There are various strategies health professionals can use that might help young people to develop their knowledge about their condition: (1) repeating information to help the patient remember; (2) using language that is not too medicalized; and (3) communicating in a way that is meaningfully connected to patients' everyday lives.
