“…A systematic review examining culturally competent care for the LGBTQ + community seeking infertility treatment found many studies in their sample emphasized the need for patient-reported suggestions to improve competency in providers [ 100 ]. The call for patient-reported suggestions highlights the need for increased uptake of community-based participatory research to meaningfully engage historically marginalized populations while empowering them to be an active participant in the creation of research questions and outcomes to improve accessibility and adherence to care [ 101 ]. Current suggestions to improve accessibility include the use of gender-neutral language on forms and signs, the inclusion of all partners for the patients undergoing treatment regardless of their sex, and the breakdown of cis- and heteronormative expectations in healthcare settings [ 100 ].…”

Inequities in Medically Assisted Reproduction: a Scoping Review

Infertility has a high prevalence in the USA and health inequities play a large role in access to medically assisted reproduction (MAR). The aim of this study was to identify gaps in research pertaining to inequities in MAR and propose suggestions for future research directions. Searches were performed using MEDLINE and Ovid Embase. Articles that reported on MAR inequities, published between 2016 and 2021 in the USA, and written in English were included. The inequities investigated were adapted from the NIH-designated health disparities populations. Each article’s inequity findings were extracted and reported, along with frequencies of inequities. Our sample included 66 studies. The majority of the studies investigated MAR outcomes by race/ethnicity and found that historically marginalized populations had poorer outcomes. LGBTQ + populations were less likely to use MAR or seek infertility care. Most studies found positive correlations with MAR use with income and education. The least commonly studied inequities in our sample were sex and/or gender and rural/under-resourced populations; findings showed that men and people from rural/under-resourced populations were less likely to access MAR. Studies that examined occupational status had varying findings. We suggest that future research be targeted toward: (1) standardizing and diversifying race/ethnicity reporting regarding MAR, (2) the use of community-based participatory research to increase data for LGBTQ + patients, and (3) increasing access to infertility care for men.

“…Efforts to improve the quality and implementation of EBPs for transgender youth should employ communityengaged research methods to ensure that interventions and implementation plans are informed by transgender youth, their caregivers, and other key community members (e.g., gender-affirming care expert providers). 1,64,65 Example of Community-Engaged Research. The application of community-engaged research methods for identifying an EBP needing tailoring for transgender youth was illustrated through a recent qualitative study.…”

“…Third, and relatedly, almost no studies have examined whether the prognostic or prescriptive relation of stress exposure to treatment outcome is moderated by gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or their intersection. Research bearing on this important question could be informed by the rich research base examining adaptations of depression treatments and service delivery for individuals with diverse identities (Legha & Miranda, 2020;Sugarman et al, 2021).…”

Treatment of Psychosocial Risk Factors in Depression.

S tress is a universal human experience and has been throughout our history. The sophist Gorgias's (483-376 BCE) Encomium of Helen is believed to be the earliest account in the West of psychological symptoms resulting from exposure to stress. The Roman philosopher Cicero (106-43 BCE) also attributed his recurrent episodes of depression to the stress of his exile from Rome and his daughter Tullia's death. In the present day, stress features prominently in almost all etiological theories of depression (LeMoult, 2020), and the mechanisms that mediate its effect on depression have been investigated at multiple levels of analysis (Harkness & Hayden, 2020).Although research indicates that major life events (e.g., divorce, job loss) are the strongest proximal triggers of depression onset (Vrshek-Schallhorn et al., 2020), just under 60% of first depressive episodes are actually preceded by such a stressor (Monroe et al., 2019). Similarly, while a history of childhood trauma raises risk for depression in adulthood threefold (Li et al., 2016), just under 60% of individuals with depression have such a history (Vallati et al., 2020). While these are sizable percentages, they nevertheless suggest that stress may not feature at all in the etiology or pathology of depression for a large number of sufferers.An important research question, then, is whether stress-related etiologic or pathologic heterogeneity translates to heterogeneity in response to treatment. Consistently, in trials of both pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral interventions, sustained remission rates rest at around 40% to 50% (Trivedi & Daly, 2008). However, there is emerging evidence that these rates can be
