Post-traumatic stress and future substance use outcomes
PTSD symptoms were highly associated with tobacco and alcohol use, while the association with prospective cannabis use is not clear. Findings suggest that understanding the different risk stratification that occurs can aid in tailoring interventions to populations at greatest risk to best mitigate the comorbidity between PTSD symptoms and future substance use outcomes. We demonstrate that this is particularly salient for tobacco use and, to some …
Transgender individuals are at higher risk for suicidal ideation and preparation than cisgender individuals in substance use treatment
This study is a first step into understanding gender minority population experiences during SUD treatment. While there was no significant difference between the cisgender and transgender samples on most variables, there was an elevated prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviors in the transgender sample, which warrants further investigation
Gender affirming hormone therapy dosing behaviors among transgender and nonbinary adults
Gender-affirming hormones have been shown to improve psychological functioning and quality of life among transgender and nonbinary (trans) people, yet, scant research exists regarding whether and why individuals take more or less hormones than prescribed. Drawing on survey data from 379 trans people who were prescribed hormones, we utilized multivariable logistic regression models to identify factors associated with hormone-dosing behaviors and c…
Experiences of violence and discrimination among LGBTQ+ individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic
OBJECTIVES: To characterise the extent to which the levels of violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people have changed amid COVID-19. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, secondary analysis. SETTING: 79 countries. PARTICIPANTS: All adults (aged ≥18 years) who used the Hornet social networking application and provided consent to participate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The main outcome was whether individuals ha…
Strengthening effectiveness evaluations through gender integration to improve programs for women, newborn, child, and adolescent health
Over the past decade, there has been substantial progress towards integrating our understanding of social determinants of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) into health planning and programs. For these programs, gender inequity remains one of the most harmful factors for women's access to healthcare. Designing RMNCAH programs to be gender-responsive through active engagement with and overcoming of gender-relate…
Prevalence and associations of Covid-19 testing in an online sample of transgender and non-binary individuals
BACKGROUND: Testing for COVID-19 and linkage to services is fundamental to successful containment and control of transmission. Yet, knowledge on COVID-19 testing among transgender and non-binary communities remains limited. METHODS: Between October 2020 and November 2020, we examined the prevalence and associations of COVID-19 testing in an online sample of transgender and non-binary people (n=536). Multivariable hierarchical logistic regression …
HIV treatment engagement in the context of Covid-19
Our results suggest that currently taking ART, having access to an HIV provider, and being able to access HIV treatment without burden and remotely refill HIV medication are suboptimal among trans and nonbinary people living with HIV across the world. Strengthening support for HIV programs that are well-connected to trans and nonbinary communities, increasing remote access to HIV providers and prescription refills, and providing socioeconomic sup…
The role of gender power relations on women’s health outcomes
The association between decision-making and other gender domains with women's health outcomes highlights the need for heightened attention to gender dimensions of intervention coverage in maternal health. Future studies should integrate and analyze gender-sensitive questions within coverage surveys
