摘要
This study characterized the prevalence of transphobic adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among young trans women (YTW) and assessed its relationship with poor mental health and sexual risk. A survey was administered between 2012 and 2014 to 300 YTW aged 16-24 living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Transphobic childhood verbal abuse, physical abuse, and high transphobic childhood adversity were endemic, and we found strong associations with depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and any and receptive anal intercourse. ACEs may be critical social determinants of mental and sexual health for YTW and validated measures to screen for ACEs are needed, along with interventions that provide gender-affirmative support for parents.
