Historical and social forces in the Iridescent Life Course
The lives of transgender older adults are rarely examined, and little is known about the critical life events and experiences of this population. Informed by the Iridescent Life Course, this study investigates how intersectionality, fluidity, context and power impact the life events and experiences of trans older adults by generation and gender. Utilising 2014 data from the National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study: Aging with Pride (Nat…
“How Do I Exist in This Body…That’s Outside of the Norm?” Trans and Nonbinary Experiences of Conformity, Coping, and Connection in Atypical Anorexia
Addressing eating disorders (EDs) within trans and nonbinary (TNB) populations is a growing concern, as TNB individuals are two to four times more likely to experience EDs than cisgender women. This study explored the lived experiences of TNB people with atypical anorexia by examining how gender identity impacted experiences of ED illness and (potential) recovery. Nine TNB adults with atypical anorexia were followed for one year and completed sem…
Epistemic Peerhood in Trans Social Work Research
Academic research hinges on the role of epistemic peers in order to evaluate newly presented claims and evidence. As social work research is often focused on social problems and systems of oppressions, scholars from the margins most impacted are even better poised to conduct and evaluate said research. Throughout the past few decades, social work scholars have adjusted the ways we teach about and conduct research in order to be increasingly criti…
Trans Adults Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting marginalized communities, such as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), disabled individuals, and transgender/nonbinary (i.e., trans) individuals. As trans individuals may be multiply marginalized, it is necessary to examine within group differences among trans individuals of different genders, races, socioeconomic statuses, and abilities. This study examines the following re…
Increased Prevalence, Predictors, and In-Group Differences of Forced Sex and Physical Dating Violence among Trans/Gender Diverse Youth
Forced sex and dating violence are too common among young people and rates are higher for young transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. However, the TGD youth population has differential experiences across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and other identity factors. This study, using data from the 2015 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, explores these differential within-group experiences of forced sex and dating violence. Findings ind…
Attuning and Queering SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework
To prevent substance use disorder (SUD) and its consequences, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration developed the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is a structured planning model that evaluates community behavioral health needs and facilitates prevention planning to address substance use concerns. Despite the SPF’s stated foundation in cultural competency, the framework lacks appropriate guidelines to address s…
Trans intracommunity support & knowledge sharing in the United States & Canada
Intracommunity support and knowledge sharing is used in transgender ("trans") communities as they navigate systems of oppression. Even for individuals with access to accepting families and service providers, connecting with other trans individuals can provide useful insight and resources. Conducted between December 2018 and April 2019, this scoping literature review examines the extent, range and nature of research activity regarding intracommuni…
Relationship commitment and alcohol use consequences among sexual minority women
Sexual minority women [SMW] are a considerable population, yet they are often overlooked in behavioral health research focused on problematic alcohol use. With a foundation in Relational-Cultural Theory, we examined the association between relationship commitment and alcohol-related consequences among SMW. Participants were recruited to take part in a study about behavioral health and relationship functioning. Analyses included multiple regressio…
The Physical Self-Perceptions of Rural Lesbians and Heterosexual Women
Lesbians are underrepresented in women's health research. Research exploring lesbians in rural environments is virtually nonexistent. The current study adds to the knowledge base of lesbian health and explores the perceptions of body image, fitness, and health for both lesbians and heterosexual women in rural communities. Findings from exploratory analyses indicated that both groups of women are significantly overweight. However, lesbians exercis…
