Re: Addressing Needs of Transgender Patients: The Role of Family Physicians

[摘要] The study from Radix1 exposes the circumstances faced by transgender individuals when seeking health services, and affirms the need for welcoming health care environments, with health care providers who are knowledgeable about their special needs. It also demonstrates strategies that family doctors can use to improve their clinical practices. The disparity in access to health was very well described in the present study, which showed that the difficulty in accessing care leads to higher rates of problems related to mental health, substance use disorder, violence, and poverty.
