About the Course

While previous studies have focused on several aspects of the lives of transgender people, there is a gap of research regarding the risk of substance use in people who identify as transgender. This research is a meta-analytic study that focuses on the prevalence of substance use and substance use disorder in transgender and cisgender (non-transgender) people.

Note: The article this course is based on is highly technical and research-focused. You may wish to read some of the article first before committing yourself to completing the course. You do not need to enroll in the course to access the article in the materials tab.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Substance Use in the Transgender Population: A Meta-Analysis created by Miriam Cotaina, et al. in 2022.
