Transgender Health

Scope

Transgender Health is currently an open access, peer reviewed journal dedicated to addressing the healthcare needs of transgender individuals throughout the lifespan and identifying gaps in knowledge as well as priority areas where policy development and research are needed to achieve healthcare equity. The Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns of transgender populations including disparities in treatment and barriers to care, health services research including cultural competency, mental health and well-being, reproductive health, sexually transmitted infections, hormone therapy and surgery, and best practices, protocols, and guidelines to ensure optimal care. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research, theoretical analysis, short reports or clinical research letters, and reviews from health, behavioral and clinical health care disciplines. Basic science research will be considered if it has direct implications for clinical care or practice.
