In Trauma in Transgender Populations: Risk, Resilience and Clinical Care Mizock and Lewis explains factors that put the transgender population at risk such as working in the sex industry or being targets of hate crimes. (Mizock Lewis, 2011, p. 336). This article also sheds light on some strategies and types of resources that can build resilience in transgender people.

Evidence-based management (EBM) complements systematic study by basing managerial decisions on the best available scientific evidence. For example, we want doctors to make decisions about patient care based on the latest available evidence, and EBM argues that managers should do the same, becoming more scientific in how they think about managem ent problems. A manager might pose a managerial question, search for the best available evidence, and apply
