Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate emotional distress, suicidality, and help-seeking among Israeli transgender and gender diverse (TGD) persons.
Methods: TGD (n=139) and cisgender (n=275) participants reported on suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB), help-seeking behavior, and emotional distress (General Health Questionnaire [GHQ-12]) in an online survey.
Results: GHQ-12 and STB were significantly higher among TGD compared with cisgender participants. More TGD participants reported seeking help.
Conclusion: TGD persons reported high levels of emotional distress and STB, suggesting that their needs for mental health care are not met by the Israeli health services.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
