"FRIDAY, Oct. 2, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Discrimination may trigger risky health behaviors by transgender Americans, a new study suggests.
Transgender adults who deal with more discrimination are more likely to smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol and drugs, and attempt suicide, the study revealed.
"This research suggests that the consequences of being [identified] as transgender and gender nonconforming are often far-reaching," Eric Anthony Grollman, an assistant professor at the University Richmond in Virginia and a former Indiana University student said in an Indiana University news release."
