abstract: 'This propensity-matched analysis utilized the publicly available
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2017-2019) data to compare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the burden of disabilities among transgender/non-binary (TGNB) and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cisgender groups. The groups were matched (1:1 ratio) on demographic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
variables using Nearest Neighborhood Matching. Categorical variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
were compared among groups using a Chi-square analysis to test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
differences in the proportions. Multivariate logistic regression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
analysis was fit to predict the likelihood of the physical and mental
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disabilities among the TGNB group compared with the cisgender group
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
while controlling for healthcare access factors, income, and employment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Survey weights were included in the model to account for the complex
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
survey design. In a weighted sample of 664,103 respondents, only 2827
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(0.4\%) self-identified as TGNB. In the matched sample, a higher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
proportion of the TGNB group belonged to the low-income group (39.5\%
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vs. 29.8\%, p < 0.001), were unable to work (12.5\% vs. 8.6\%, p <
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0.001), and delayed care due to cost barriers (19.0\% vs. 12.4\%, p <
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0.001). Compared with the cisgender group, the odds of having difficulty
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
making decisions were 1.94 times higher (95\% CI: 1.67-2.27) and odds of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
difficulty walking were 1.38 times higher (95\% CI: 1.19, 1.59) among
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the TGNB group. Additionally, the TGNB group had 59.8\% higher adjusted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
odds ratio (aOR) (aOR 1.598, 95\% Confidence interval (CI): 1.256,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2.034) of experiencing difficulty dressing and 83.3\% higher odds (aOR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.833, 95\% CI: 1.533, 2.191) in having difficulty doing things alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The findings of this study advocate for developing policies and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
interventions to deliver culturally competent care to the TGNB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
population with disabilities.'
