Little is known about the positive or negative features of health care encounters between allied health professionals and TGDNB individuals. This scoping review sought to (1) summarize current evidence describing health care encounters between allied health professionals and TGDNB individuals; (2) identify the extent of clinical practice guidance specific for allied health professionals; and (3) identify recommendations for improving allied health care for TGDNB individuals. A comprehensive search of four electronic databases and two grey literature sources was conducted from January 1, 2000 to September 26, 2021. Relevant data were extracted and summarized narratively, and recommendations were summarized via table. Thirty-five articles were included in this review. Barriers faced by TGDNB individuals in accessing allied health services included previous negative experiences, lack of clinician competence, financial barriers, travel times, lack of understanding of allied health scope and fear of stigmatization, and discrimination. No clinical guidelines were identified specific to allied health; however, eight key recommendations emerged from the synthesis: a need for TGDNB-specific referrals, resources and advocacy, clinician education, awareness and use of patient pronouns, gender neutral environments, inclusive and welcoming environments, gender-inclusive intake forms, confidentiality and privacy, and reduction of stigma and discrimination. Findings suggest that improvements to optimize allied health care experiences of TGDNB individuals are indicated and feasible. Significant scope remains for patient-centered research to improve health care experiences for TGDNB individuals.</p>","PeriodicalId":37265,"journal":{"name":"Transgender Health","volume":" ","pages":"22-34"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937776/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43337102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants rated their frequency of health outcomes in terms of both positive and negative changes, and the average score was calculated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 197 participants, 80% reported using commercial binders as their current or most recent binder type. Users of commercial binders reported significantly more positive mental health changes than noncommercial binders (<i>p</i>=0.043). There was no statistically significant association between negative outcomes and the binder category (<i>p</i>=0.595). Musculoskeletal complaints were more frequent with commercial binders. The frequency of skin changes was higher with noncommercial binders; however, acne was higher with commercial binders.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results suggest that the positive mental health changes associated with chest binding outweigh the negative side effects. However, the contrariety of adverse effects among binding methods suggests that chest binding must be evaluated by individual binder type rather than as a general practice. These findings will help providers guide conversations to identify which binder is best for each unique patient, as well as encourage future research in chest binding best practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":37265,"journal":{"name":"Transgender Health","volume":" ","pages":"533-543"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11669614/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47282213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
