Transgender women are at high risk for HIV, substance abuse, and mental health problems. We describe a health promotion intervention program tailored to transgender women in San Francisco. The program creates a safe space for providing transgender-sensitive education about HIV risk reduction, substance abuse prevention, and general health promotion. Transgender health educators conduct workshops and make referrals to appropriate substance abuse treatment programs and other services in the community. Evaluation findings indicate that this community-tailored intervention may be an effective way to reach transgender women and reduce sexual risk behaviors, depression, and perceived barriers to substance abuse treatment.
跨性别女性面临感染艾滋病毒、药物滥用和心理健康问题的高风险。我们描述了一项针对旧金山跨性别女性的健康促进干预计划。该计划创造了一个安全的空间，提供针对跨性别者的关于降低艾滋病毒风险、预防药物滥用和促进整体健康的教育。跨性别健康教育家举办工作坊，并转介至适当的药物滥用治疗计划及社区中的其他服务。评估结果表明，这种针对社区的干预措施可能是接触跨性别女性并减少性风险行为、抑郁以及药物滥用治疗中感知到的障碍的有效方式。
