Evaluation of gender-affirming care experiences of transgender and gender diverse patients within a LGBTQ+ community pharmacy.

Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations require personalized care. Lived experiences and needs TGD populations express, compounded by limited care access, negatively shape health care involvement. Manifestations from these barriers may present as health care avoidance, identity concealment, or preventive care hinderance.

BreatheOut: Development and implementation of a pharmacist-led, culturally tailored smoking cessation program for transgender and gender diverse patients.

Background: The transgender population has disparities and predictors of smoking unique from the general population. Although culturally tailored smoking cessation programs have been created for minority populations with increased burden of tobacco use, there are no such pharmacist-led smoking cessation interventions for transgender patients.

Objectives: The objective is to describe the development and implementation of a culturally tailored smoking cessation program for transgender and gender diverse patients and highlight an opportunity for pharmacist involvement in the interdisciplinary health care team for trans patients.
