Study Objective

The study is the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the U.S., providing a more accurate and detailed picture of the issues faced by transgender people. The study's findings provide researchers and policymakers with unbiased estimates of the demographics and health of the transgender population and can be used to design interventions that meet the unique needs of transgender people. TransPop data is publicly available through ICPSR at the University of Michigan.
