ABOUT THE COLLABORATIVE 

WHAT IS THE POP*HI COLLABORATIVE?

We are a transdisciplinary team of health equity researchers primarily investigating LGBTQ+ health through a population health and intersectionality lens. Our research is centered on the understanding that racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other structures of oppression diminish the health of people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals through structural mechanisms of inequality, discrimination, stigmatization, and minority stress. 

WHAT IS POPULATION HEALTH?

Population health refers to "the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribuiton of such outcomes, patterns of health determinants, and policies and interventions that link these two" (Kindig and Stoddart 2003)

WHAT IS INTERSECTIONALITY?

"Intersectionality is foremost about attention to power.  In essence, if interlocking oppression and discrimination such as racism, sexism, heterosexism, cisgenderism, classism, and ableism and audism are not the primary focus of your intersectionality work, you’re not doing intersectionality." (Intersectionality Training Institute)

Question Is patients’ perceived level of clinician knowledge about transgender care associated with the self-rated health of transgender people?

Findings In this cross-sectional analysis of 27 715 participants in the 2015 US Transgender Survey, transgender people who had to teach their clinician about transgender people had substantially higher levels of poor self-rated health and severe psychological distress than those who did not have to teach their clinician. Results were similar for transgender people who reported that their clinicians had less transgender-specific knowledge, compared with patients whose clinicians were perceived to have high levels of such knowledge.

Meaning These findings highlight the importance of integration and enhancement of transgender health in medical education curriculum as a necessary intervention to improve the health of transgender people.
