A Multiple Case Study Examination of Resiliency Factors for Mexican and Mexican-American Transsexual Women

This multiple case study examined resiliency factors in the lives of 3 transsexual woman of Mexican ethnic origin who worked as entertainers throughout Texas. Data were collected through personal interviews with each participant, direct and indirect observations of their performances as entertainers, and exploring the artifacts that represented resiliency for their lives. Results indicated unique stories of resilience that clustered around themes of recognizing accountability, self-acceptance, family cohesiveness, spirituality, improvisational talent, and integrating womanhood with a transsexual identity. These findings are particularly useful for conceptualizing strengths-based approaches in social and mental health practice for the transgender community

Health Insurance, Treatment and Outcomes: Using Auto Accidents as Health Shocks

Previous studies find that the uninsured receive less health care than the insured, yet differences in health outcomes have rarely been studied. In addition, selection bias may partly explain the difference in care received. This paper focuses on an unexpected health shock-severe automobile accidents where victims have little choice but to visit a hospital. Another innovation is the use of a comparison group that is similar to the uninsured: those who have private health insurance but do not have automobile insurance. The medically uninsured are found to receive 20% less care and have a substantially higher mortality rate. © 2005 President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
