Effrig, Jessica C.; Bieschke, Kathleen J.; Locke, Benjamin D.
Journal of College Counseling, v14 n2 p143-157 Fall 2011
Treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking transgender college students were examined with regard to victimization and psychological distress. Findings showed that transgender college students had elevated rates of distress as compared with college students who identified as men or women. Results indicated that treatment-seeking and non-treatment seeking transgender college students did not significantly differ with regard to psychological distress or experiences of victimization, with the exception of rates of suicidal ideation.
