Experiencing racism, family disruption, and victimization are associated with incarceration. Decreasing the rates of family disruption, experiences of racism, and victimization should inform future policy and services to reduce the disproportionately high prevalence of incarceration for FNIM people living in urban sett…
Modelling prevalent cardiovascular disease in an urban Indigenous population

Retrospective Reports of Developmental Stressors, Syndemics, and Their Association with Sexual Risk Outcomes Among Gay Men

This study examined how multiple co-occurring psychosocial problems, also known as a syndemic, contribute to high-risk sexual behavior among GBM. It also examined the impact of early life adversity on high-risk sexual behavior as mediated by syndemic severity. A sample of 239 GBM completed self-report questio…

Nonprescribed Hormone Use and Self-Performed Surgeries: “Do-It-Yourself” Transitions in Transgender Communities in Ontario, Canada
Objectives. We examined the extent of nonprescribed hormone use and self-performed surgeries among transgender or transsexual (trans) people in Ontario, Canada. Methods. We present original survey research from the Trans PULSE Project. A total of 433 participants were recruited from 2009 to 2010 through respondent-driven sampling. We used a case series design to characterize those currently taking nonprescribed hormones and participants who had e…
Depression in Trans People: A Review of the Risk Factors
Depression is a commonly occurring syndrome characterized by mood-related symptoms; however, it is understudied among trans people (transgender, transsexual, or transitioned). A review of the existing literature on depression revealed eight factors pertinent to trans communities including discrimination, disclosure, identity support, hormones and sex-reassignment surgeries, sociodemographics, socioeconomic factors, substance use, and access to he…
