Abstract
Limited provider knowledge on transgender health contributes to stigmatizing interactions and access-to-care challenges for incarcerated transgender people. Drawing on interviews with recently incarcerated transgender individuals and correctional staff, we developed and piloted a transgender health training for correctional healthcare providers. Providers indicated that the training provided them with the requisite competencies to provide gender-affirming care to transgender patients. Participants also found the intervention to be highly acceptable and feasible and recommended that the training be provided to others. Additionally, results suggested that the training may be able to increase providers' transgender-related knowledge. Further testing of the intervention is warranted.Entities:
