The purpose of this study was to estimate the number of transgender men (transmen) adults living in San Francisco. We integrated two population size estimation methods into a community-based health survey of transmen (n = 122) in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2014-2015: the service multiplier and wisdom of the crowds. The median estimate was 806 transmen adults in San Francisco (0.11% of adults) and 4027 in the Bay Area. Considering potential biases, we believe our estimates are conservative. Knowing the denominator of persons at risk for health conditions is necessary for public health planning, surveillance, and impact evaluation.
本研究旨在估算居住在旧金山的跨性别男性（跨男）成年人的数量。我们将两种人口规模估算方法整合到了 2014-2015 年对旧金山湾区跨男（n=122）进行的一项基于社区的健康调查中：服务乘数和众包的智慧。中位数估计值为旧金山有 806 名跨性别男性成年人（占成年人的 0.11%），而湾区有 4027 名。考虑到潜在的偏差，我们认为我们的估计是保守的。了解健康状况风险人群的分母对于公共卫生规划、监测和影响评估是必要的。
