Characterizing disparities in the HIV care continuum among U.S. transgender and cisgender Medicare beneficiaries, 2008–2017
Although HIV is more prevalent among transgender and gender-diverse individuals than cisgender people, a dearth of research has compared the HIV-related care engagement of these populations. Using 2008-2017 Medicare data, we identified TGD (trans feminine and non-binary [TFN], trans masculine and non-binary [TMN], unclassified gender) and cisgender (male, female) beneficiaries with HIV and explored within and between gender group differences in t…

Medicare should use the tools at its disposal to support the health of TGD beneficiaries

In accordance with informed consent models, providers reported that they reviewed patients’ medical history, social supports, and comorbidities; prescribed GAHT formulations that aligned with patients’ goals; monitored health regularly; and maintained open communication wi…
Use of machine learning methods to understand discussions of female genital mutilation/cutting on social media
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) describes several procedures that involve injury to the vulva or vagina for nontherapeutic reasons. Though at least 200 million women and girls living in 30 countries have undergone FGM/C, there is a paucity of studies focused on public perception of FGM/C. We used machine learning methods to characterize discussion of FGM/C on Twitter in English from 2015 to 2020. Twitter has emerged in recent years as a…
Sexual and gender minority university students report distress due to discriminatory health care policies
Religious conscience" or "healthcare denial" policies allow healthcare providers and institutions to refuse to provide services in the name of religious freedom.
