Abstract Details

2020, BS, Kent State University, College of Public Health.
Interviews contained in this thesis, conducted in 2019, served as a method to address community health and barriers faced by the transgender community. Interviews of transgender members of the Kent State community were gathered to provide feedback about experiences in healthcare. One of the most common challenges discussed by individuals who were interviewed were accessibility issues in healthcare. This research provided participants both the space and opportunity to openly share about there negative and positive experiences interacting with the healthcare system. An analysis of the interview data has found that there is a wide range of experiences, but the transgender community feels as though they are not being heard by professionals in healthcare. They struggle to access services and overcome discrimination. This research continues to provide insight on the challenges, triumphs, and perseverance of transgender community in healthcare.
