Summary

The Community-Based Research Centre is a Canadian non-profit organization promoting the health of people of diverse sexualities and genders through research and intervention development.

This Primer builds on their 2022 Our Health survey, providing an overview of factors influencing health and healthcare access among 2SLGBTQIA+ women and gender-diverse individuals in Canada.

Policy & Practice Implications

• The Canada-wide survey statistics on health and healthcare inequities faced by queer women and gender diverse people can inform organizations as they determine their 2SLGBTQIA+ programming needs and priorities.
• Areas of action to support better health outcomes for 2SLGBTQIA+ women and gender-diverse people include increasing funding opportunities, training healthcare providers with relevant skills and knowledge, and involving those with lived experience in policy-making.
