Determinants of male healthcare utilization in Switzerland: does gender identity and migration background matter?
Healthcare utilization in Switzerland differs by male gender identity and migration background. These findings underscore the need for more inclusive, identity-sensitive healthcare with a focus on gender diverse AMAB individuals. Addressing structural and access-related barriers is essential to ensure equitable healthcare utilization among male migrant populations, especially first-generation migrants.
