Community-informed priorities for cannabis harm reduction research among LGBTQIA+ youth
LGBTQIA+ youth consistently report higher rates of cannabis use and cannabis-related problems compared with their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. These disparities underscore the necessity for cannabis use education and harm reduction strategies that are responsive to the specific social contexts, lived experiences and needs of LGBTQIA+ youth. Given the paucity of research in this area, we conducted a World Café consultation to identify …
Exploring How Cannabis Use Featured in the Mental Health Experiences and Daily Lives of Queer, Non-Binary, and Trans Youth in the Early Phases of the Covid-19 Pandemic
While the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health and substance use inequities among youth, less is known about how queer, non-binary and transgender (QNT) youth in Canada experienced changes in cannabis use and mental health during the pandemic. This mixed-methods study explored the relationship between cannabis use, mental health, and experiences with the COVID-19-related public health measures among QNT youth. Between July 2020 and Jun…
It’s a Beautiful Feeling”
Cannabis is the second most used substance in sexual contexts after alcohol, particularly among young adults. Understanding motivations underlying sex under the influence of cannabis can shed light on the needs these practices fulfill, deepening knowledge and providing critical insights for sexual well-being promotion. Moreover, little research has examined how gender shapes these motivations. This study explored motivations for sex under the inf…
Beyond struggle
Our analysis illustrates many ways in which cannabis use (and non-use) features in QT youth's efforts to survive and thrive. As a result, we encourage loved ones, clinicians, researchers and policy makers to adopt a view of QT cannabis use that is expansive and inclusive of QT youth's strengths
Barriers and opportunities in community-led cannabis research
Scapegoated communities, shared struggles
Abus et violence vécus par les jeunes trans et non binaires au Québec
Les jeunes s’identifiant comme étant des personnes trans ou non binaires (TNB) sont exposé·e·s au risque de vivre différentes formes de discrimination, d’abus et de violence de la part des membres de leur famille ou de leur entourage. Cet article a pour but de : 1) faire un portrait des jeunes TNB ayant vécu un ou des types d’abus ; 2) cerner le contexte particulier de cette violence et de ses répercussions sur le bien-être des jeunes TNB. Les do…
Academic, socioeconomic and interpersonal consequences of cannabis use
Sex and gender terminology
There is increased interest in inclusion, diversity and representativeness in epidemiological and community health research. Despite this progress, misunderstanding and conflation of sex and gender have precluded both the accurate description of sex and gender as sample demographics and their inclusion in scientific enquiry aiming to distinguish health disparities due to biological systems, gendered experiences or their social and environmental i…
Gender-inclusive writing for epidemiological research on pregnancy
People who have a uterus but are not cisgender women may carry pregnancies. Unfortunately, to date, academic language surrounding pregnancy remains largely (cis) woman-centric. The exclusion of gender-diverse people in the language of pregnancy research in English is pervasive. In reviewing a random sample of 500 recent articles on pregnancy or pregnant populations across health research fields, we found that only 1.2% of articles used gender-inc…
