Experiences of trans patients in primary care settings: findings from The OutLook Study

Alannah D. Mulholland, Todd A. Coleman, Simon Coulombe, Charlie Davis, Ruth Cameron, Robb Travers, Ciann Wilson, Michael R. Woodford Trans people experience differential health outcomes and care access compared to cisgender persons. This research demonstrates how transphobia, negative primary care experiences, and other socio-demographic factors significantly associate with trans patients’ perceptions of primary care providers. Efforts towards decreasing societal transphobia, encouraging familial support and education, alongside increasing provider knowledge through medical education is necessary to improve health outcomes for trans people.
