“选择的家庭”--在生物或法律的（生物-法律的）纽带之外形成的家庭--是酷儿经历的一个标志。因此，我们在健康、疾病和相互提供护理方面解决了酷儿和变性人（Q/T）年轻人的“选择家庭”的利害关系。“被选择的家庭”是一个由酷儿体验产生并专门为酷儿体验而生的避难所，因此我们借鉴人类学的理论，从关怀的角度来探讨酷儿亲属关系的问题。我们采用现象学的方法，半结构化的采访（n = 11），开放编码，和主题分析的transmittance，以满足我们的目标：（1）发展的信念和价值观的理解，形成的定义“选择的家庭”的Q/T的年轻人;（2）了解的方式，“选择的家庭”的功能方面的保健和疾病。出现了几个主题，使我们能够更好地了解这一人口的经验，在导航的概念“选择的家庭”内外的医疗保健设置。紧急主题包括：（1）导航医疗系统;（2）互相依靠;（3）互助。这些研究结果进行了探讨，因为是医疗保健专业人员如何更好地参与Q/T个人和他们的支持网络的影响。
“Chosen family”—families formed outside of biological or legal (bio-legal) bonds—is a signature of the queer experience. Therefore, we address the stakes of “chosen family” for queer and transgender (Q/T) young adults in terms of health, illness and the mutual provision of care. “Chosen family” is a refuge specifically generated by and for the queer experience, so we draw upon anthropological theory to explore questions of queer kinship in terms of care. We employ a phenomenological approach to semi-structured interviews (n = 11), open coding, and thematic analysis of transcriptions to meet our aims: (1) Develop an understanding of the beliefs and values that form the definition of “chosen family” for Q/T young adults; and (2) Understand the ways in which “chosen family” functions in terms of care for health and illness. Several themes emerged, allowing us to better understand the experiences of this population in navigating the concept of “chosen family” within and beyond health care settings. Emergent themes include: (1) navigating medical systems; (2) leaning on each other; and (3) mutual aid. These findings are explored, as are the implications of findings for how health care professionals can better engage Q/T individuals and their support networks.
