Bar graph from the Trans PULSE Canada study describing the proportion of transgender and non-binary respondents who had one or more past-year unmet health care needs. The graph compares trans and non-binary respondents who did sex work in the past year (n=131) to trans and non-binary respondents who didn’t do sex work in the past year (n=2231). The X-axis shows the variable being examined: “Had past-year unmet health care need(s)”. The Y-axis shows the percentage of respondents had past-year unmet health care need(s), ranging from 0% to 80% at an interval of 20%. 63% of transgender and non-binary people doing sex work had past-year unmet health care need(s), compared to 43% of trans and non-binary people not doing sex work. The graph also shows that in total, 45% of trans and non-binary respondents (n=2580) had past-year unmet health care need(s). It should be noted that past-year unmet health care needs are not limited to primary care. Unmet need could also be related to emergency care, specialist care, home care, etc.
