International Journal of Transracial Health

IJTRH is the official peer-reviewed journal of TRPATH, published four times per year.

The International Journal of Transracial Health publishes original research, systematic reviews, clinical commentary, and ethics papers on racial incongruence, phenotype-affirming care, and the social conditions of transracial people. Members receive online access, and printed copies are issued four times a year.

Scope

  • Epidemiology of racial dysphoria and transracial identification.
  • Outcomes of melanin-modulating and surgical pathways.
  • Adolescent presentation, social transition, and school policy.
  • Minority stress associated with misracing, dead-racing, and passing demands.
  • Legal and institutional implementation of SOC8.

Recent issue highlights

  • Chen & Hale, “Informed consent without ancestry: adult assessment after SOC8.”
  • Voss, “Watchful waiting is not neutral: pediatric racial identity in clinics.”
  • Park, “Coverage of melanin replacement therapy in U.S. commercial plans.”
  • Okonkwo, “Misracing in university housing: a mixed-methods study.”

Submissions are accepted year-round. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that treat TREF premises as settled science or that require passing as an outcome measure.
