Case study analyzes vaping behaviors in transgender adolescents, suggesting public health strategies to mitigate risks.
The rapid growth of vaping, particularly among priority populations such as transgender individuals, is a significant public health concern. This article examines vaping behaviors and associated health risks within the transgender community through the case of Jordan, a 16-year-old Black transgender male. Using recent studies and validated resources, we explore the drivers of vaping in this population and propose targeted intervention strategies for healthcare providers, particularly psychiatric and mental health professionals. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of inclusive public health policies and educational initiatives tailored to the transgender community.
