Week 6 Reading Assignment
Many health promotion practices and public policies within public health exclude gender and sexually diverse populations.
The social determinants of health do not accurately reflect the experiences or represent gender and sexually diverse populations.
A significant amount of work is urgently required to reframe and be inclusive of gender and sexually-diverse populations within public health research, policies, and reports to promote health equity and inclusion.
Prioritizing epidemiological and aggregate data has led to the perception that this type of research is more of a "gold standard" than community-based participatory research approaches.
Conversion therapy has continued to be upheld by ideologies of cissexism and heterosexism, and this narrative urgently needs to be challenged and transformed to be inclusive of all gender identities.
Policies and regulations need to be in place to ensure that the prohibition of conversion therapy practices is enforced and upheld.
Medical and nursing schools should prioritize that their curriculum includes classes and modules on providing 2SLGBTQ+ affirming medical care.
The passage of Bill C-4 presents a transformative time for the medical sector, health care practitioners and regulations to promote and protect the health rights of 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada.
Promoting the concept of "critical hope" and its role in contributing to social justice and research methodologies.
Community-based participatory research that involves arts-based methods can be a way to bring specific communities together, create something meaningful and share/reflect on the process or the representation of the art piece.
This is an example of a way to incorporate strength-based approaches into research which promote hope, community resiliency and trust with researchers.
Critical hope involves providing the opportunity and space to allow people to embrace and provoke ideas of hope on their own.
The Health Equity Promotion Model, is a framework that aims to promote 2SLGBTQ+ people to reach states of complete mental and physical well-being and health.
This framework entails identifying social positions, individual and structural and environmental contexts, health-promoting, and adverse pathways while applying a life-course development lens.
It is vital for public health practitioners to acknowledge their own biases they may have and for public health/health organizations to adopt a health equity promotion framework.
2SLGBTQ+ populations experience a significant amount of health disparities ranging from physical to mental health issues.
Research has identified many health disparity studies about 2SLGBTQ+ populations using deficit-based models to understand decreased health outcomes.
2SLGBTQ+ research requires community involvement and for it to represent a diversity of experience and knowledge.
Increased longitudinal and cohort studies need to be conducted within the 2SLGBTQ+ populations to better understand the structural and environmental contexts to promote health equity.
Strength-based approaches must become the standard and ensure community-voice and experiences are prioritized in research.
