Associations Between Healthcare Experiences, Mental Health Outcomes, and Substance Use Among Transgender Adults

Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that negative health care experiences are significantly associated with mental health and substance use for TGNB adults. Specifically, these results emphasize the role of more subtle forms of discrimination, including a lack of clinician knowledge about the care of TGNB patients, asking invasive questions, and treating TGNB patients with respect.
