Summary: This study examines the longitudinal and bidirectional associations between gender discrimination, internalizing symptoms and gender identity among adolescent girls. The findings demonstrate a reciprocal relationship between discrimination and internalizing symptoms, with discrimination predicting declines in gender identity indirectly through internalizing symptoms. The study highlights the importance of helping girls develop adaptive responses to sexism and reducing the occurrence and exposure to gender discrimination.

Summary: Recent recommendations suggest including patient sexual orientation and gender identity in electronic health records to improve clinical care for sexual and gender minority patients. A study on provider practices in collecting and documenting gender identity found inconsistent practices due to lack of protocol and dedicated EHR fields. Providers noted that patient disclosure of gender identity was typically unprompted or presumed through disclosure of gender affirming treatments. Further provider training and appropriate EHR fields are needed to support gender identity collection and documentation.

Summary: This study estimated the prevalence of personal and household victimizations among transgender people in the United States using 2017 and 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey data. Transgender individuals experienced significantly higher rates of victimization compared to cisgender individuals, with households containing transgender individuals also facing higher rates of property victimization. Despite these disparities, reporting of victimizations to authorities was similarly low among both transgender and cisgender individuals.

Summary: Clinicians have limited experience with sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients in the oncology setting, but they express a desire for training.

Summary: The study focused on the inadequate, disrespectful, and abusive palliative and hospice care received by LGB patients and their spouses/partners due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. A national survey of healthcare professionals found that a significant percentage reported observing disrespectful, inadequate, or abusive care towards LGB patients, as well as discriminatory care towards their spouses/partners. These findings highlight the need for hospice and palliative care programs to promote inclusive and affirming care for the LGBTQ community and ensure that staff are trained to provide a safe and respectful environment for LGBTQ patients and their families.

Summary: This study examined mental health disparities among frontline health care workers in the Bronx, New York during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that sexual and gender minority (SGM) workers had higher levels of depression, anxiety, impact of COVID-19, and psychological distress compared to non-SGM workers. Lower income, younger age, and COVID-19 stressors were found to further exacerbate these differences. The study suggests that health care systems should provide support for SGM frontline health care workers through trauma-informed programming.

Summary: TGD communities face widespread stigmatization, with demoralization playing a key role in mental health outcomes such as suicidal ideation and psychological well-being. Research has shown complex relationships between demoralization, TGD-community connectedness, psychological well-being, and depression. Further studies are needed to explore potential protective factors to mitigate the impact of demoralization on psychological well-being among TGD individuals.
