Adult transgender women (n = 41) from six cities in the southern and eastern United States participated in seven online focus groups between August 2017 and January 2018. Analyses focused on perceived acceptability of nove…
Risk factors for vitamin A and D deficiencies among children under-five in the state of Palestine
