ABSTRACT

Using data from the 2015 United States Transgender Survey, this study investigates which patient sociodemographic characteristics and psychosocial risks are associated with likelihood of transgender mistreatment in healthcare and how patterns vary for patients of color. Numerous predictors, including alignment of identity documents, were associated with healthcare mistreatment. Among subgroups of transgender patients of color, psychosocial risks were more consistently significant than sociodemographic characteristics in predicting mistreatment. National and international health organizations are called to enact clear policies that affirm transgender patients and patients of color and establish a commitment to effectively serving these populations within their ethical codes.

摘要

本研究使用 2015 年美国跨性别调查的数据，调查哪些患者的社会人口学特征和心理社会风险与医疗保健中跨性别虐待的可能性相关，以及有色人种患者的模式如何变化。许多预测因素，包括身份证件的对齐，都与医疗保健虐待有关。在有色人种跨性别患者亚组中，心理社会风险比社会人口学特征在预测虐待方面更为显着。呼吁国家和国际卫生组织制定明确的政策，确认跨性别患者和有色人种患者，并承诺在其道德准则范围内有效地为这些人群服务。
