Excited to have this important work coauthored with @HarryBarbee_ out in @JAMA_current
We describe the public health and ethical implications of restricting access to gender affirming care under Medicaid.
💬 Viewpoint from @samueljamesmann, PhD, and @HarryBarbee_, PhD: Restricting gender-affirming care access will not only harm individual health outcomes, but also strain the health care system.

Excited to have this important work out @J_HumanResource
Using administrative data we show that sexual minorities are more likely to be working multiple jobs.
Results are driven by self-insurance mechanisms for sexual minority men and career mobility for sexual minority women
