We aimed to determine whether GAHT is associated with increased utilization of cervical cancer screening among transgender men (TM) and nonbinary persons assigned female at birth (NB-AFAB). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study of a single community health center in Boston. Persons of all gender identities eligible for cervical cancer screening during 2008-2019 were assessed. The outcome of interest was receipt of cervical cancer screening based on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations. We compared the proportion of persons who received cervical cancer screening by prescription of GAHT. Results: We identified 13,267 eligible persons. This cohort included 10,547 (79.5%) cisgender women, 1547 (11.7%) TM, and 1173 (8.8%) NB-AFAB persons. Among all persons eligible for cervical cancer screening, TM and NB-AFAB persons were less likely to receive screening than cisgender women (56.2% and 56.1% vs. 60.5% respectively; odds ratio [OR] = 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.75-0.93; OR = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.74-0.94, respectively).

Methods: A sample of 986 SGM adults in NYC completed an online survey between June 25 and December 1, 2021. Participants indicated their top three sources of COVID-19 vaccine information from a list of 10 options. Participants were also categorized into low or high COVID-19 knowledge using a 14-item questionnaire. We described knowledge sources, then conducted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression to identify characteristics associated with greater knowledge.

Methods: We identified 2250 SGM cancer survivors who completed the \"OUT: National Cancer Survey,\" conducted by the National LGBT Cancer Network in 2020-2021, and classified participants by their self-reported satisfaction with overall cancer care. We examined care satisfaction in relation to use of SGM-tailored health education resources and factors surrounding their SGM identities, which may influence their satisfaction, including feelings of safety with care teams. Results: Regardless of satisfaction with overall care, substantial proportions of survivors reported lacking vital health education resources specific to their SGM identities in areas of mental health (69%), physical activity (91%), tobacco use cessation (89%), and alcohol consumption (86%), despite attributing value to these materials. Contextualizing SGM survivor satisfaction with care, it was notable that among SGM survivors who felt safe with members of their care team knowing their SGM identity, only 3% were less than satisfied with their overall cancer care, compared to 38% who felt unsafe. Conclusion: SGM survivors value tailored information and health education resources that incorporate their intersectional identities. More research must be done to elucidate why SGM survivors do not receive these materials, while creating spaces where they feel safe receiving care. Increased delivery of SGM-tailored materials and prioritization of SGM safety in health care may have implications for overall cancer care satisfaction among SGM survivors.","PeriodicalId":18062,"journal":{"name":"LGBT health","volume":" ","pages":"475-483"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139642511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We surveyed TGD individuals in Michigan in 2018 to examine sociodemographic, health insurance, and substance use differences between those who had used HT and those who were interested but had never accessed HT using logistic regression models. Results: Respondents (N = 536) were 80.1% White and 18.0% nonbinary. About two-thirds of the participants had ever used HT (65.7%). In multivariate analyses, nonbinary participants were much more likely to be interested in future HT use than transmasculine individuals (odds ratio [OR] = 6.91), yet no significant difference between transmasculine and transfeminine individuals was found. Black participants also had higher odds of interest in future HT use (OR = 8.79). Those who did not know if they had trans-specific insurance coverage (OR = 42.39) and those who had no trans-specific insurance coverage (OR = 4.50) were more likely to be in the future interest group compared with those who reported full trans care coverage. Those with a bachelor's degree were less likely to be in the future interest group than those with some college education or an associate's degree, as were heavy marijuana users. Conclusion: Nonbinary individuals may be interested in HT but lack access, and known health care disparities around race and socioeconomic status may also impact HT access.

Imprecise, inconsistent use of gender and sex information in one-liners threatens the provision of affirming care to transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and intersex patients and may exacerbate health care disparities. This study aimed to generate guidance for communicating gender and sex information in one-liners. Methods: This is an explanatory sequential, equal status mixed methods study of transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and intersex people and clinicians caring for this population. Survey participants rated one-liners on a five-point Likert-type scale of appropriateness, considering affirmation and clinical utility, and provided open-ended comments. We conducted two focus groups with survey respondents to explore survey results and performed a thematic analysis of survey comments and focus group transcripts. Results: Survey respondents included 57 clinicians and 80 nonclinicians. One-liners containing patient pronouns were rated most appropriate, and appropriate patient descriptors included self-described gender identity or gender-neutral terms. In scenarios where patient sex information was not pertinent to the chief concern (CC), one-liners containing no sex information were rated most appropriate. Four themes were identified: inclusion of sex information based on relevance to the CC, accurate patient representation, influence of clinical setting, and risk of harm from inaccurate one-liners. Conclusion: This study generated data to support the appropriate use of gender and sex language in one-liners. Clinicians, educators, and trainees may use these findings to compose one-liners that are affirming and clinically useful for patients of diverse gender and sex identities.","PeriodicalId":18062,"journal":{"name":"LGBT health","volume":" ","pages":"484-494"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139672088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people assigned female at birth (AFAB) face many barriers to preventive care, including cancer screening. Self-sampling options may increase access and participation in HPV testing and cancer screening. This study estimated the prevalence of HPV in self-collected cervicovaginal, oral, and anal samples from Midwestern TGD individuals AFAB. Methods: We recruited TGD individuals AFAB for an observational study, mailing them materials to self-collect cervicovaginal, oral, and anal samples at home. We tested samples for high-risk (HR; 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59) and other HPV genotypes (6, 11, 66, 68, 73, 90) using a polymerase chain reaction mass array test. Prevalence ratios for HPV infection at each site as a function of participant characteristics were estimated in log-binomial models. Results: Out of 137 consenting participants, 102 completed sample collection. Among those with valid tests, 8.8% (HR = 6.6%; HPV 16/18 = 3.3%) were positive for oral HPV, 30.5% (HR = 26.8%; HPV 16/18 = 9.7%) for cervicovaginal HPV, and 39.6% (HR = 33.3%; HPV 16/18 = 8.3%) for anal HPV. A larger fraction of oral (71.4%) than anal infections (50.0%) were concordant with a cervicovaginal infection of the same type.

The 200 most highly cited studies from each year were identified and their titles and abstracts reviewed against inclusion criteria after deduplication. After full-text review, study characteristics and data indicating quality of SOGI reporting were extracted. The fidelity of the results was verified with a random sample before analyses. Results: The final sample comprised 580 records. Few studies reported gender identity (n = 194; 33.4%) and, of these, 7.2% reported the associated gender identity measure.

Ordinal logistic regressions assessed associations between minority stress (discrimination and internalized homophobia [IH]), social support (perceived social support and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ [LGBTQ+] community connectedness), and cannabis risk scores (low, medium, and high risk of developing problems related to their cannabis use). We also explored differences in cannabis risk scores by sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). Results: Higher everyday discrimination scores were associated with increased odds of self-scoring in a higher cannabis risk range (adjusted odds ratio = 1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31-1.79). We found no significant associations for IH, LGBTQ+ community connectedness, or social support on cannabis risk scores. There were also no statistically significant differences by SOGI groups; however, SOGI did moderate the relationship between IH and cannabis risk score such that the slope for IH was 0.43 units higher for cisgender sexual minority women compared to cisgender sexual minority men (95% CI = 0.05-0.81). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that experiences of everyday discrimination are important contributors to developing cannabis-related problems and IH may have more pronounced effects for sexual minority women compared to sexual minority men.

Methods: Web-based surveys were conducted with SMW from across the United States during January-February, 2022 using psychometric valid tools. Bivariate, hierarchical regression, and logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: Of 497 participants, 70% were identified as bisexual and 30% as lesbian. The mean scores for anxiety, depression, and stress were significantly higher among bisexual women compared to their lesbian counterparts (p < 0.05). The proportion of serious suicidal ideation and behavior was higher among bisexual women compared to lesbian women (53.9% vs. 41.2%, p = 0.012). Conversely, the mean scores of resilience were lower among bisexual women compared to lesbian women (139.7 ± 33.4 vs. 147.5 ± 33.6, p = 0.024). Lesbian women had nearly 57.4% lower odds of having serious suicidal ideation and behavior as compared to bisexual women (adjusted odds ratio = 0.426; p = 0.023). Experiencing anxiety, depression, victimization distress, and family discrimination distress were positively associated with serious suicidal ideation and behavior, whereas personal resilience and family cohesion were negatively associated with serious suicidal ideation and behavior.
