To examine distance traveled to an urban community health center by gender-expansive and cisgender participants.
Methods:
Client-reported zip code of residence from archival data (N=2677) was used. A chi-square test of independence and a Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test were conducted.
Results:
Gender-expansive clients travel farther to access health care from this clinic; this is true for clients who live within the city, within the state, and in the neighboring states.
Conclusion:
Trans people experience travel distance as a barrier to accessing quality health care. Broadening telehealth services and working with rural health care providers to develop transition-related health care knowledge are key.
