摘要

Background

The World Health Organization (WHO) has proclaimed the right of all people to optimum health and to receive healthcare to an adequate and appropriate standard. Yet, as things stand, this right is not equally accessible to all; transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people face health inequalities which do not affect cis people. Their health is at risk due to the high likelihood of their encountering discrimination, particularly in relation to healthcare and health systems; their subjection to intersectional experiences of discriminatory behavior, minority stress, and norms imposed from without makes them a vulnerable group.

Research interest

Our project Setting-based health promotion for transgender people sought to promote good health among TNB people by gathering evidence-based data on ways of supporting them to attain an optimum state of health within the settings in which they live.

Study design and research methods

We used a qualitative research design to collect data from three target groups, e.g., episodic interviews, centering on TNB people.

Results

Our findings demonstrate among others the need for significant improvements in healthcare for TNB people due to the risks that their current experience of healthcare may pose to their health. Appropriate health promotion requires support for TNB people’s resilience and the creation of health-promoting structural conditions in other settings such as workplaces, sports and exercise. Healthcare staff can help reduce the diverse forms of discrimination affecting TNB people and remove the barriers currently preventing them from accessing standard healthcare.

Conclusion

On the basis of our findings, we have drawn up recommendations for action to drive change in this area and to combat health inequalities for TNB people.
