Black transgender women are disproportionately affected by violence and poor care-delivery, contributing to poor mental health. Little is known regarding the effect of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) community connection (TCC) on health. This analysis (a) explores relationships between TCC, polyvictimization, and mental health and (b) analyzes how TCC influenced help-seeking following violent experiences among Black transgender women. Mixed-methods data from 19 Black transgender women were analyzed using correlational and thematic content analyses. Findings suggest that TCC is associated with improved help-seeking and mental health among Black transgender women, highlighting a need for longitudinal research to identify approaches for leveraging TCC.
Purpose: To assess the impact of a masked Endpoint Committee on estimates of the incidence of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), treatment efficacy and statistical power of the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study-Phase 1, 1994-2002 (OHTS-1). Design: Retrospective inter-rater reliability analysis of endpoint attribution by the Endpoint Committee Methods: After study closeout, we recalculated estimates of endpoint incidence, treatment efficacy and statistical power using all-cause endpoints and POAG endpoints. To avoid bias, only the first endpoint per participant is included in this report. Results: The Endpoint Committee reviewed 267 first endpoints from 1,636 participants. The Endpoint Committee attributed 58% (155 of 267) of the endpoints to POAG. The incidence of allcause endpoints vs. POAG endpoints was 19.5% and 13.2% respectively in the observation group and 13.1% and 5.8% respectively in the medication group. Treatment effect for all-cause endpoints was a 33% reduction in risk (relative risk = 0.67, 95% CI of 0.54-0.84) and a 56% reduction in risk
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
