Using 2017 data from the Aging with Pride (NHAS) survey (189 participants) and the Movement Advance Project (MAP), it links respondents’ perceived support to the number of close ties and to state-level transgender equality categories. After adjusting for demographics, perceived support rises with additional network ties (β=0.11, p\u003C0.001), and higher-equality states show stronger support than low/negative equality states (β=0.34, p=0.033).",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/structural-and-interpersonal-sources-of-perceived-social-support-for-transgender-older-adults/426478/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/structural-and-interpersonal-sources-of-perceived-social-support-for-transgender-older-adults/426478.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ben ","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What data sources does the study use?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The study uses NHAS data from the Aging with Pride National Health and Sexuality Gender Study and state policy information tracked by MAP (Movement Advance Project).","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"How is perceived social support measured in relation to social networks?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"Participants report the number of close ties in their social networks, and regression results show perceived social support increases significantly with each additional close network tie (β=0.11, p\u003C0.001).",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How do state-level transgender equality environments affect perceived support?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"After accounting for demographics, respondents in high/medium equality states report significantly more perceived support than those in low/negative equality states (β=0.34, p=0.033).","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},426478,1790791598,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":81},2336478951081,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","318 Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \ninterpersonal and structural determinants of transgender older adults’ perceived social support. In 2017, NHAS surveyed 189 transgender older adults on their perceived social support and asked to report the number of close ties in their social networks. For the same year MAP tracked trans supportive and anti-transgender state policies and categorized all the states in the US as high/medium and low/negative equality states. NHAS transgender respondents from 32 states, were on average 67 years old, about a third reported being racial/ethnic minority and about half were below the 200% federal poverty level. About two thirds resided in medium/high equality states and about a third resided in low/negative equality states. In the regression analysis, after accounting for the demographic variables, transgender older adults’ perceived social support increased significantly with every additional close network tie (β = 0.11, p \u003C 0.001) . Net of social network size, transgender respondents in high/medium equality states reported feeling significantly more supported than those in low/negative equality states (β =0.34, p=0.033). These findings highlight that the new wave of anti-transgender legislations will have a lasting negative impact across transgender individuals’life course.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1072  \nSTRUCTURAL AND INTERPERSONAL SOURCES OF  \nPERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR TRANSGENDER  \nOLDER ADULTS.  \nAnyah Prasad1, Hailey Jung2, and Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen2, 1.
