[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 897R0x9l. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Despite higher rates of unemployment and poverty among transgender adults (n =131 ; 0.5 % weighted) than among nontransgender adults (n =28045) in our population-based Massachusetts household sample, few health differences were observed between transgender and nontransgender adults. Transgender adults who are stably housed and participated in a telephone health survey may represent the healthiest segment of the transgender population. Our findings demonstrate a need for diverse sampling approaches to monitor transgender health, including adding transgender measures to population-based surveys, and further highlight economic inequities that warrant intervention.
