Feasibility and acceptability of collecting biobehavioral data from Latinx transgender and nonbinary people

Background Latinx transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people are at high risk of poor health compared to cisgender (i.e., non-TGNB) people. Most studies about the health of Latinx TGNB people have collected self-reported data. There is an urgent need for inclusion of biobehavioral measures to better understand and target the underlying mechanisms of health disparities among Latinx TGNB people. We conducted the first study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of collecting biobehavioral data that we are aware of in this population.
