#1. Which study resulted in the United Kingdom banning puberty blockers for minors in 2024
The Cass Review (led by Dr Hilary Cass) began research in 2020 and published their findings in 2024, leading to the banning of the “sale, supply, prescription and dispensing,” of puberty blockers to the youth of the United Kingdom. The Cass Review found evidence that puberty blockers in minors led to harm
#2. True/False: Dr Cass suggested that the UK should establish a puberty blocker trial to gather information on how puberty blockers will impact minors taking them.
Though her results stopped puberty blockers from being distributed to minors, Dr Cass’ Recommendation #15 and #16 in her report involve having a puberty blocker trial in order to obtain data on how minors will be impacted. NHS England took up her recommendation and was set to begin the trial in January of 2026.
#3. How many children would be taking part in the NHS England puberty blocker trial?
Approximately 220 youth between the ages of 11 and 15 were set to be given puberty blockers in a controlled setting in order to gather data on the effects of the blockers.
#4. What put a pause to the puberty blockers trial, set to take place in January 2026?
The MHRA paused the trial in February 2026, explaining their reasons for doing so in a letter. “Since potentially significant and, as yet, unquantified risk of long-term biological harms is present to participants and biological safety has not been definitively demonstrated in this proposed cohort, at the very least, there should be a graded/stepwise approach starting with those aged 14 as the lower limit of eligibility,” In response, Dr. Cass said it was important that the trial for children under the age of 16 went ahead. Based on the MHRA letter, it seems like there were serious flaws in the trial design that was set to begin earlier this year.
#5. Which of the following groups is issuing puberty blocker supplies and hormones in a “black market-like” fashion?
The Trans Harm Reduction group has been providing resources and supplies in Scotland. They recently hosted a class teaching individuals how to self medicate when they could not get access to cross sex hormones. Scottish doctors have spoken out about the situation, “It’s frankly terrifying that vulnerable young people could be encouraged to use black market puberty blockers,” said Dr. Sandesh Gulhane, the Conservative shadow health secretary. “This would put lives at risk, and anyone involved in pushing these illicit medications must be investigated.”
