Dr. Flatt and his team partnered with interACT for the first nationwide intersex health study for adults. Survey interviews have been conducted with over 200 intersex participants on their lived health, social, mental, and medical experiences. This study is the first to examine the health experiences of intersex adults in the U.S.
The goal is to use the data from this study to reshape current intersex care protocols and ensure care and care providers are more inclusive and compassionate towards intersex adults.
