Abstract
"This case study describes HP's experiences during an independently conducted exploratory study among a community of transgendered people. Trained in anthropology and public health, HP conducted the study for her Masters' dissertation in International Health. She was supported by a fellowship from a reputed European public health institution. She worked independently; her mentor abroad was a peer and essentially a sounding board. As a full-time employee of a local research organisation, she had to conduct this field work during her free time. The study aimed to explore biological, psychological and social factors motivating people to join the hijra or transgendered community. It also intended to examine the impact of membership in this group, their lifestyle and behaviour on their health status. One objective was to identify the group's perceived health needs and health-related help-seeking behaviour."(
