Analyzing secondary data from a 2015 survey of 90 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals in California's Inland Empire, this study reports frequencies of physical and mental health and health care access and discrimination outcomes and differences by age, race/ethnicity, and sex assigned at birth. Nearly three-quarters of respondents reported positive physical health, yet only about half reported positive mental health-an outcome poorer for respondents <50 years. Lesser than 50% found it very easy to find providers for routine care and only 16% found it very easy to find a transgender-competent provider, underscoring the need for more health professional training.
本研究分析了2015年对加利福尼亚内陆帝国90名跨性别者和性别不一致者的调查中的二手数据，报告了身体健康和心理健康的频率、医疗保健获取情况和歧视结果，以及按年龄、种族/族裔和出生时指定性别划分的差异。近四分之三的受访者报告身体健康状况良好，但只有约一半的人报告心理健康状况良好——50岁以下的受访者这一结果更差。不到50%的人认为很容易找到提供常规护理的医疗服务提供者，只有16%的人认为很容易找到能胜任跨性别者护理的医疗服务提供者，这突出表明需要更多的健康专业培训。
