Opportunities and Gaps in Primary Care Preventative Health Services for Transgender Patients: A Systemic Review.

Abstract: Purpose: Transgender people face barriers to accessing healthcare, resulting in population-level disparities in health outcomes. Little research is available to better understand the receipt of primary healthcare among transgender patients or how the rate of receipt of preventive care may differ among transgender populations. Methods: The medical literature regarding U.S. adult transgender primary healthcare was reviewed using a keyword search strategy: transgender OR transsexual OR transvestite OR gender nonconforming for articles published between January 1, 2001 and June 15, 2015. Studies addressing the following topics as assessed by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were extracted for qualitative review: colorectal cancer screenings, mammography or chest/breast tissue examinations, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings, tobacco use and smoking cessation, cervical cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV) screenings, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), annual flu shot, and insuran...

The evolution of the Fenway Community Health model.

Abstract: Fenway Community Health was founded by community activists in 1971 in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, Mass, and within a decade had rapidly expanded its medical services for gay men in response to the AIDS epidemic. Increased expertise and cultural competence in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) care led to expansion of medical services to address broader community concerns, ranging from substance use to parenting issues to domestic and homophobic violence, as well as specialized programs for lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals. Fenway began as a grassroots neighborhood clinic. In 1975, the center recorded 5000 patient care visits; in 2000, Fenway's clinical departments recorded 50,850 visits by 8361 individuals, including more than 1100 individuals receiving HIV-associated care. The center now has more than 170 staff people responsible for clinical programs, community education, research, administration, planning, and development. Over the past few years, Fenway's annual budget has exceeded $10 million. Fenway has established standards for improved cultural competence about LGBT health issues for other health providers and has developed programs to educate the general community about specific LGBT health concerns. This health center may provide a model of comprehensive LGBT health services that have a local impact.
