Abstract: Trans youths across the US still experience hardship based on their gender expression and identity. This creates barriers for trans youth to access health care due to fear of being judged. The AAPD’s Policy on Care for Vulnerable Populations in a Dental Setting has a specific section regarding trans patients. This research aims to identify the extent of implementation, the degree of implementation, awareness, and any possible barriers.  A survey sent out to all program directors whose email

are part of the AAPD’s emailing list was used to collect data. The data collected was then categorized into 4 subsets: geographical, awareness, degree of implementation, and barriers to implementation. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze each category of data to evaluate the implementation and barriers to this AAPD policy.
