Conclusions
TrTGW
Identifying the factors associated with retention is essential to achieve more promising results. In the TransAmigas projects, besides the satisfactory results obtained, maintaining contact with the research team and having higher schooling level were associated with retention. Moreover, evidence shows that drug use may also play a role.The strategies implemented, such as collective activities in public spaces, promoted experiences that increased the bonds among the team, the participants, and the PNs. Thus, these strategies should be included in the guidelines that contribute to strengthen retention.Future studies with TrTGW should include contact at regular intervals, with additional efforts aimed at participants with lower schooling level. To measure and reduce potential losses, using monitoring tools that provide data in a timely manner is also important, helping adapt strategies of retention to the study. In line with the current literature, in the light of the gender affirmative model
