Using 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, this study investigates whether transgender men have equal access to health care and engagement in preventive health behaviors compared to cisgender adults in the U.S. and whether race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and rural residence moderate these relationships. Once controlling for sociodemographic factors, we do not find differences for transgender men. Rural transgender men were less likely to have a personal doctor or receive a blood cholesterol screening than their urban peers; transgender men with less education were more likely to have a cholesterol screening. We detail implications for social workers within health care.
本研究利用2015年行为风险因素监测系统的数据,调查了与美国顺性别成年人相比,跨性别男性是否能平等地获得医疗保健服务并参与预防性健康行为,以及种族/族裔、社会经济地位和农村居住情况是否会缓和这些关系。在控制了社会人口学因素后,我们没有发现跨性别男性存在差异。与城市的跨性别男性同龄人相比,农村的跨性别男性拥有私人医生或接受血液胆固醇筛查的可能性较小;受教育程度较低的跨性别男性进行胆固醇筛查的可能性更大。我们详细阐述了医疗保健领域对社会工作者的启示。
