Introduction: Transgender and nonbinary peoplehave been identified as vulnerable and clinically underserved and experience health disparities. Lack of health care provider knowledge about transgender and gender diverse populations is a barrier to care, impacting health outcomes. The aim of this project was to develop, implement, and evaluate a simulation learning activity for midwifery and women's health nurse practitioner students and obstetrics and gynecology residents to interact with transgender and nonbinary individuals, with the goal of enhancing health history taking comfort and skills.
Methods: A partnership was formed among University faculty and simulation educators, a community clinic providing gender-affirming care, and members of transgender and gender diverse populations who served as patient-teachers. Two cases frequently encountered in clinics providing care to transgender individuals were developed for the simulation. Learners were divided into interprofessional groups of 3 and completed one of 2 case scenarios with a patient-teacher. Learners and patient-teachers debriefed after the simulation to discuss and reflect on the experience.
Results: Thirty-three learners participated in the simulation, 12 midwifery students, 16 women's health nurse practitioner students and 5 obstetrics and gynecology residents. Significant differences were observed for all comfort and skills questions, showing increased perceived comfort and skills from pre- to postsimulation. There were no significant differences in attitude responses.
Discussion: We successfully created and implemented a new sexual and reproductive history taking skills simulation in partnership with community clinic staff and transgender and nonbinary persons. The session was well received by learners and patient-teachers. Learners demonstrated significant improvements in comfort and skills in history taking in this setting and provided favorable feedback about the experience. This simulation can serve as a guide to others providing education to future midwives, women's health nurse practitioners, and obstetrician-gynecologists.

Objectives: To expand the literature documenting that tobacco use inequities persist and continue to increase for minoritized youth populations by exploring patterns of tobacco use across multiple intersections of sexual, gender, racial, and ethnic identities. Studies with this focus are needed to understand the degree to which tobacco use varies across groups who hold multiple minoritized identities.

Background: Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals are increasingly intentionally becoming pregnant to raise children, and hospital websites should reflect these trends. For prospective TGNB parents, a hospital website is the only way they can assess their safety from discrimination while receiving perinatal care. Cisnormativity enforced by communication gaps between medical institutions and TGNB patients can and has caused delays in receiving urgent care during their pregnancy.

Introduction: Global disparities in HIV prevalence among transgender women are well documented. However, current epidemiological literature on HIV disparities demonstrates gaps in research that include the diversity within transgender populations-for example, transgender men and non-binary trans people across global regions. This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aims to summarise global HIV inequities among all transgender and non-binary (trans) populations.
