Recent clinical SARS-CoV-2 studies link diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension to increased disease severity. In the US, racial and ethnic minorities and low socioeconomic status (SES) individuals are more likely to have increased rates of these comorbidities, lower baseline health, limited access to care, increased perceived discrimination, and limited resources, all of which increase their vulnerability to severe disease and poor health outcomes from SARS-CoV-2. Previous studies demonstrated the disproportionate impact of pandemic and seasonal influenza on these populations, due to these risk factors. This paper reviews increased health risks and documented health disparities of racial and ethnic minorities and low SES individuals in the US. Pandemic response must prioritize these marginalized communities to minimize the negative, disproportionate impacts of SARS-CoV-2 on them and manage spread throughout the entire population. This paper concludes with recommendations applicable to healthcare facilities and public officials at various government levels.

“…These estimations are however indirect and uncertain since they exclude individuals who, although identify as transgender, may not apply for legal gender change nor medical gender-confirming interventions. Transgender people may face various health concerns that are directly and indirectly related to exposure to prejudice, discrimination and violence (Kattari et al, 2015;Meyer, 2007). Furthermore, transgender people report experiences of health care services being inadequate and insensitive to their needs (Kanamori & Cornelius-White, 2016;Lombardi, 2001;Roller, Sedlak & Draucker, 2015), poor mental health and elevated suicide risk (Bauer et al, 2015;Dhejne et al, 2011;Dhejne et al, 2016;Millet et al, 2017), and high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, STIs (Baral et al, 2013;Meyer, 2007).…”

“…Visibility has also increased in the research community, with recent studies reporting a 10- to 100-fold increase in transgender population size estimates (Deutsch, 2016). Although there is an increase in awareness and discourse around transgender issues, those individuals who deviate from traditional gender norms are often still subject to discrimination, prejudice, and stigma (Adams et al, 2016; Clements-Nolle, Marx & Katz, 2006; Grant et al, 2011; Kattari et al, 2015; Wyss, 2004). Minority stress theory proposes that experiencing prejudice and discrimination related to stigma associated with holding a marginalized identity has a negative impact on health (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Meyer, 2003).…”

Background A growing body of research has examined transgender identity development, but no studies have investigated developmental pathways as a transactional process between youth and caregivers, incorporating perspectives from multiple family members. The aim of this study was to conceptualize pathways of transgender identity development using narratives from both transgender and gender nonconforming (TGN) youth and their cisgender (non-transgender) caregivers. Methods The sample included 16 families, with 16 TGN youth, ages 7–18 years, and 29 cisgender caregivers (N = 45 family members). TGN youth represented multiple gender identities, including trans boy (n = 9), trans girl (n = 5), gender fluid boy (n = 1), and girlish boy (n = 1). Caregivers included mothers (n = 17), fathers (n = 11), and one grandmother. Participants were recruited from LGBTQ community organizations and support networks for families with transgender youth in the Midwest, Northeast, and South regions of the United States. Each family member completed a one-time in-person semi-structured qualitative interview that included questions about transgender identity development. Results Analyses revealed seven overarching themes of transgender identity development, which were organized into a conceptual model: Trans identity development, sociocultural influences/societal discourse, biological influences, family adjustment/impact, stigma/cisnormativity, support/resources, and gender affirmation/actualization. Conclusions Findings underscore the importance of assessing developmental processes among TGN youth as transactional, impacting both youth and their caregivers.
