Improving access to health care for intersex and transgender people – intrahealth.de
The project investigates discrimination of intersex and transgender people in health care and develops the self-learning environment www.intrahealth.de for health professionals with the aim to reduce barriers in access to health care.
The project aims to reduce experiences of discrimination and psychosocial burdens on intersex and transgender persons in health care and to remove these specific barriers to health care access. To this end, the care situation, needs and experiences of intersex and transgender persons as well as the needs of health professionals concerning the reduction of discrimination in the health care system will be examined and analysed. On this basis, an interactive, web-based self-learning environment for health professionals is developed, which is freely available for use since April 2023.
