Survey of Trans* Experiences of Discrimination in Health Care
Recognizing that a key to good health and quality of life is being treated as a valued member of society and provided competent, safe, and respectful healthcare services, this survey is designed to measure perceptions by trans people of discrimination they may encounter while using or trying to access healthcare services. Hearing directly from trans individuals about their perceptions of discrimination in these settings is an important part of improving the abilities of providers and institutions to offer competent, respectful, and empowering care. This survey is being conducted by Angela Lieber, MSW, College of Social Work, Florida State University, and has received approval from the Florida State University Institutional Review Board. Taking this survey, which includes the Trans* Perceptions of Discrimination in Health Care (Trans*PDHC), should take approximately 15-20 minutes.
