Transgender and gender diverse adults are under-enrolled in food assistance programmes and report negative experiences when accessing benefits: an analysis of the US Transgender Survey

Culturally informed interventions are urgently needed to resolve the root causes of food insecurity, increase SNAP participation and address the negative experiences of TGD adults when accessing food benefits.
