Health-Related Experiences of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Coloradans: A Scoping Review of the Literature.

Background: Extant literature on transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people living in the United States is centered on bicoastal metropolitan cities. Little is known about the health status and health-related barriers among TGD people living in the middle of the country. Minority Stress Theory (MST) provides a framework for understanding how TGD people experience stressors that shape their health-related experiences.

Conceptualizing transgender and gender-diverse older adults as a vulnerable population: A systematic review.

Background: While extant literature clearly illustrates the negative experiences of transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people, the intersection between TGD identity and older age in producing vulnerability is poorly understood. The Vulnerable Populations Conceptual Model (VPCM) provides a framework for identifying vulnerable communities. Understanding access to resources, relative risks, and health status experienced by TGD older adults is critical in developing person-centered interventions.

Nursing, Social Justice, and Health Inequities: A Critical Analysis of the Theory of Emancipatory Nursing Praxis.

Walter's theory of emancipatory nursing praxis (ENP) was created to explore nurses' social justice-related transformational learning process. We analyzed the theory within the context of stigma-related health inequities faced by transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people. The theory of ENP provides a theoretical framework to incorporate social justice in nursing practice, research, education, and policy.
