使用2015年行为风险因素监测系统数据，本研究调查了跨性别男性与美国顺性别成年人相比是否有平等的医疗保健和预防性健康行为的参与，以及种族/民族，社会经济地位和农村居住是否会缓和这些关系。一旦控制了社会人口因素，我们没有发现跨性别男性的差异。农村的跨性别男性比城市同龄人更不可能有私人医生或接受血液胆固醇筛查;受教育程度较低的跨性别男性更有可能接受胆固醇筛查。我们详细的影响，在医疗保健的社会工作者。
Using 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, this study investigates whether transgender men have equal access to health care and engagement in preventive health behaviors compared to cisgender adults in the U.S. and whether race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and rural residence moderate these relationships. Once controlling for sociodemographic factors, we do not find differences for transgender men. Rural transgender men were less likely to have a personal doctor or receive a blood cholesterol screening than their urban peers; transgender men with less education were more likely to have a cholesterol screening. We detail implications for social workers within health care.
