Our Health Matters: Transmasculine People’s Health & Human Rights in India

Dr. Ayden Scheim and Shaman Gupta will talk about Our Health Matters: Indian Trans Men and Transmasculine Health Study, a mixed-methods community-based participatory research project on the social determinants of transmasculine people’s mental health and access to care in India. We will discuss research gaps in transmasculine health, and how our project leverages community strengths and knowledge to begin filling these gaps. We will share findings from the project’s qualitative phase, and describe the process of using research data and community knowledge to develop policy- and socially-relevant survey measures.
