Assessing Transgender Attitudes Toward Health Care: Can These Attitudes Help Predict Health Outcomes?

Year: 2014

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Research has identified the fact that race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, education level, geographic location, help seeking behaviors, and experiences of discrimination are associated with health outcomes. In addition, attitudes towards providers can also help determine health outcomes. The transgender community experiences barriers to health care services and therefore their overall health is affected. There is not a sufficient amount of literature that assesses, using standardized measure, the attitudes of the transgender community and their health. The present study will assess the attitudes of the transgender community toward health care (mental and medical health) and, using standardized measures, determine if these attitudes are related to their self-reported health outcomes.
