I think that if any parent was interested in getting their kid screened by psychologists for gender dysphoria and accompanying treatments, one fair question to ask (and hope you get an honest answer) is roughly what percent of kids seen by this medical office end up getting the diagnosis and treatment? This number is obviously going to be higher than the national rate of occurrence, because there is a reason they were brought there in the first place, but if it is a very high % I think a smart parent should become very skeptical of potential biases
Psych diagnosis are still, even for this, questionnaires (to my knowledge, which is limited in this area) . And from what I’ve seen, the errors more likely to be caught in an audit is the documentation not matching the criteria for the result. Not the result being correct or not, but how accurately the result is supported with the documentation. Meaning a clinician can theoretically pick whatever outcome they want, as long as it is supported with documentation that they are paraphrasing the person as having said to them in a questionnaire. Could they get away with misdiagnosing everyone forever? No, not saying that either though obviously. Eventually that could be caught as well, it’s just not as obvious sometimes
