HealthDay (8/22, Mundell ) reports, “There’s a strong association between a state’s policies and laws around the rights of transgender people and the mental health of transgender residents, a new study shows.” Investigators also discovered that Washington-based participants “who said they were aware of [the state’s] efforts to safeguard trans people’s rights had a 56% lower odds for current depression and an 89% lower odds for anxiety, compared to those who weren’t aware.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
