Racialized Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (GBTQ) Men’s Suicidality in Canada
The protective effects of religiosity and spirituality against mental illness and suicidality have been widely established, but the ways these dimensions characterize racialized GBTQ men's suicidality is poorly understood. Drawing on interpretive descriptive methodology and using virtual photovoice methods, individual Zoom interviews were conducted with 32 Canadian-based racialized GBTQ men to explore the connections between their religiosity, sp…
Institutional (dis)trust among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people in Malaysia
In Malaysia, pervasive institutional discrimination harms lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people and complicates how they may build and sustain trust with different public institutions. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study examined the prevalence of institutional (dis)trust among a sample (n = 647) of LGBTQ+ adults in Malaysia, and the factors that influenced their institutional (dis)trust. Using descriptive analy…
Managing Suicidality
The interconnections of multiple minority stress and masculinities diversely operate to impact racialized gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GBTQ) men’s mental health outcomes. However, limited research has explored the connections to racialized GBTQ men’s suicidality within Canadian contexts. Guided by interpretive descriptive methodology and using virtual photovoice methods, the current study addresses this gap by drawing on the narratives …
Two-Spirit, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (2SGBTQ) men’s suicidality in Canada
Suicide is a leading cause of death in Canada, with men being three times more likely to die from suicide compared with the rest of the population. Among Canadian men, those who are Two-Spirit, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (2SGBTQ) are disproportionately impacted by suicidality. Drawing on this growing public health crisis, this current scoping review focuses on Canadian-based 2SGBTQ men to address the research question: What is known ab…

Sexual minority men’s experiences of, and strategies for emotional intimacy in intimate partner relationships
Emotional intimacy is key to intimate partner relationship quality and satisfaction. For sexual minority men, queer and feminist theorists consistently link emotional intimacy to diverse sexual practices and partnership dynamics formulated within the relationship. This Photovoice study adds to those insights by drawing on individual photovoice interviews with 16 sexual minority men to describe participant's experiences of, and strategies for emot…
Participatory Action Research and Knowledge Dissemination in Virtual Photovoice
Despite the methodological spread of virtual photovoice, alignments to and potential advances for the participatory action research (PAR) and knowledge dissemination (KD) components of in-person photovoice are poorly understood. Detailing the PAR and KD processes, practices, and products drawn from a virtual photovoice study examining men's experiences of and perspectives about equitable intimate partner relationships, the current article offers …
The case for and Against Doing Virtual Photovoice
Photovoice offers creative participatory action methods for conveying community strengths and challenges with the goal of addressing health inequities. Accelerated by COVID-19 restrictions, photovoice has increasingly become virtual, and this shift has given rise to new considerations including navigating online recruitment and data collection, e-participatory action trends and working with multi-site large qualitative data sets. Within these con…
