Experiences of transgender-related discrimination and implications for health: results from the Virginia Transgender Health Initiative Study.

Objectives: We examined relationships between social determinants of health and experiences of transgender-related discrimination reported by transgender people in Virginia.

Methods: In 2005 through 2006, 387 self-identified transgender people completed a statewide health needs assessment; 350 who completed eligibility questions were included in this examination of factors associated with experiences of discrimination in health care, employment, or housing. We fit multivariate logistic regression models using generalized estimating equations to adjust for survey modality (online vs paper).
