摘要

在当前的研究中，我们探讨了尼日利亚跨性别和性别多样化（TGD）人群获得性别确认护理的障碍。在2021年2月至9月期间，我们对居住在尼日利亚的25名成年TGD患者进行了焦点小组讨论。我们发现：(1)缺乏跨性别的医疗服务提供者，(2)高昂的医疗费用，(3)获得准确健康信息的渠道有限，(4)跨性别恐惧症的经历，以及(5)缺乏针对跨性别的规划。需要满足尼日利亚TGD人独特需求的保健服务。公共卫生。2025年5月1日在线出版：e1-e5。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308057)。

Barriers to Gender-Affirming Care, Health Care Services, and Experiences of Health Care Provider Bias Among Transgender People in Nigeria.

In the current study, we explored barriers to accessing gender-affirming care among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people in Nigeria. Between February and September 2021, we conducted focus group discussions with 25 adult TGD individuals residing in Nigeria. We found (1) a lack of trans-competent health care providers, (2) high medical costs, (3) limited access to accurate health information, (4) experiences of transphobia, and (5) a lack of trans-specific programming. Health care services that cater to the unique needs of TGD people in Nigeria are needed. (Am J Public Health.
