Abstract
Research often focuses on the negative events in transgender people's lives, such as discrimination and violence. However, there are many positive factors that promote health and well-being among transgender people that are not often studied. This study examines young Asian and Pacific Islanders who identify as māhūwahine (male-to-female transgender people or men who have sex with men) and the relationship that family cohesion has with negative social and economic indicators. Higher family cohesion was related to sexual choices (e.g., delaying age of first sex and having higher sexual self-efficacy), but not related to engaging in illegal behaviors (e.g., selling drugs, underage drinking). Implications for future research are discussed.
