To date, there has been little research on the general health literacy of trans and gender diverse individuals, even though previous research undermines the importance of good health literacy in this sample. The aim of the article is therefore to describe the general health literacy of trans and gender diverse individuals based on a German survey.
In September 2022, a survey study was conducted in which health literacy was recorded using HLS-EU-16. Data will be presented descriptively; gender differences will be explored using a Χ- test and a univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Out of N = 223 participants, n = 129 individuals (57.8%) identified as non-binary; n = 49 (22.0%) identified themselves as male, while n = 45 (20.2%) identified as female. Mean age was 28.03 years. Overall, 26.4% of all the participants showed an inadequate health literacy, as proposed by the HLS-EU-16. In trend, health-related task related to media use were more often perceived as easy compared to the German general population.
Individuals, who identify as trans and gender diverse may have a general health literacy below average compared to the German general population. However, tasks related to media use were perceived as easy, which might be a good starting point for health literacy related interventions.

迄今为止，关于跨性别和性别多样化个体的一般健康素养的研究很少，尽管先前的研究表明在这个群体中健康素养的重要性。因此，本文的目的是根据德国的一项调查来描述跨性别和性别多样化个体的一般健康素养。
2022 年 9 月，进行了一项调查研究，使用 HLS-EU-16 记录健康素养。将以描述性的方式呈现数据；使用 Χ-检验和单因素方差分析（ANOVA）来探索性别差异。
在 223 名参与者中，n=129 名（57.8%）为非二进制性别认同；n=49（22.0%）自认为是男性，而 n=45（20.2%）自认为是女性。平均年龄为 28.03 岁。总体而言，根据 HLS-EU-16，所有参与者中有 26.4%表现出健康素养不足。在趋势上，与德国一般人群相比，与媒体使用相关的健康相关任务往往更容易被感知。
与德国一般人群相比，跨性别和性别多样化的个体可能普遍具有低于平均水平的健康素养。然而，与媒体使用相关的任务被认为是容易的，这可能是与健康素养相关的干预的良好起点。
