Social participation of the older sexual minority population
Despite the growing ageing population in Canada, limited efforts have been made to understand the role of ageing in sexual minority research. The term sexual minority refers to people that do not identify as heterosexual regarding their sexual orientation. In order to examine the role of social factors in sexual minority ageing, the study utilised the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) baseline data to compare social participation rates …
Sexual orientation and cognition in aging populations
The current study utilized the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) data to investigate the relationship between sexual orientation and cognitive health of the aging population. Cognitive flexibility and verbal fluency were examined as outcome variables in the study. A total of 45,993 respondents were included in the analyses. Each model had social support or social participation as a mediator. A series of mediation analysis, stratified by…
Detransition Narratives Trouble the Simple Attribution of Madness in Transantagonistic Contexts
Pronouns Are a Public Health Issue
They Haven't Made a Slot for Us Yet
In this paper, we present the findings of a qualitative study aimed at conceptualizing the service needs of aging gay men living with HIV (GMLH). Our analysis is based on interview data from 16 gay-identified men living with HIV, ages 50 and over. Drawing on a framework of intersectionality, which theoretically accounts for interlocking expressions of marginalization in groups affected by multiple systems of oppression, we highlight the practical…
The Political Economy of Peer Research
Participatory research, or the practice of involving ‘peers’ with lived experience, has become popular in social work. Peer engagement is lauded for: ‘democratising’ the research process; providing ‘capacity building’ and facilitating opportunities to co-produce knowledge. Yet, these claims are rarely evaluated by empirical investigations into the socio-material work conditions of peer researchers. Here we present findings of a study that examine…
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Disparities in the Prevalence of Suicide Ideation and Attempt Among Bisexual Populations
Gender Socialization Practices Among Bisexual and Other Nonmonosexual Mothers
Though social scientists have researched sexual minority parenting practices regarding the gender socialization of children, to date this research has focused exclusively on sexual minority parents in same-gender relationships, and almost exclusively on the experiences of gay and lesbian parents. The current paper addresses the gender socialization parenting practices of 25 nonmonosexual sexual minority women who are in different-gender relations…
Prevalence of Depression and Anxiety Among Bisexual People Compared to Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Individuals
An account from the inside
The benefits and challenges of insider positionality have been much written about in relation to qualitative research. However, the specific emotional implications of insider research have been little explored. In this manuscript, I aim to bring the literature on insider positionality to the study of emotion in qualitative research through a reflection on my experiences as a "total insider" conducting interviews for a longitudinal qualitative stu…
Sexual health among young bisexual women
Young bisexual women experience health disparities related to sexual health, yet there is comparatively little research that addresses which specific factors drive these disparities. The current study investigates young bisexual women’s perspective of their sexual health in order to address this gap. We conducted a community-based qualitative study in Canada, which included four two-hour focus group sessions with 35 bisexual women (broadly define…
A grounded theory of bisexual individuals’ experiences of help seeking
Bisexual people constitute the largest sexual minority group in North America and experience significant mental health disparities in relation to heterosexuals, gays, and lesbians. In this article, we will examine the process and experience of help seeking among bisexuals. This was a community-based study that collected qualitative interview data from 41 diverse bisexual people from across Ontario, Canada. We analyzed the interview data using gro…
Characterizing non-monosexual women at risk for poor mental health outcomes
Assessing access for prospective adoptive parents living with HIV
Work has been underway to increase the availability of parenting options for people living with and affected by HIV. One option, adoption, has not yet been explored in the literature. The study aimed to gain a better understanding of the potential of adoption for individuals/couples living with HIV in Ontario, and to assess potential structural barriers or facilitators that may impact their experience navigating the adoption system by conducting …
Laboring to Mother in the Context of Past Trauma
The occurrence of interpersonal trauma is a reality for many women, with effects that often persist long after the traumatic events end. The purpose of this feminist grounded theory study was to examine how past trauma shaped the lives of women as they became new mothers. We recruited a purposive sample of 32 women from two Canadian communities and conducted semistructured, dialogic interviews during the second trimester of pregnancy. We analyzed…
The Impact of Maternal Depression During Pregnancy on Perinatal Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: Depression often remains undertreated during pregnancy and there is growing evidence that untoward perinatal outcomes can result. Our systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether maternal depression during pregnancy is associated with adverse perinatal and infant outcomes. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched from their start dates to June 2010. Keywords utilized included depressiv…
Culture and Postpartum Mood Problems
Purpose: Few studies have examined the role of culture in a woman’s experience of postpartum mood problems (PPMP). This study explored differences and similarities in experiences of PPMP between first- and second-generation Canadian women. Design: In this exploratory qualitative study, we interviewed nine first-generation and eight second-generation women who were clients of the Women’s Health Centre at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto, Cana…
Gender and sexual minorities
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to outline the use of intersectionality theory in research with gender and sexual minorities – that is, with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people, and lesser-studied groups such as two-spirited people. Design/methodology/approach – First, the paper note the limited way that LGBTQ research has taken up issues of intersecting oppression. The paper outlines why theoretical and methodological …
“I Don't Want to Turn Totally Invisible”
Almost no research has examined the parenting experiences of bisexual people. In this mixed-methods study, sexual minority women (N = 64) who were currently trying to conceive, pregnant, or parenting an infant completed standardized questionnaires to assess mental health, social support, and other variables. Fourteen participants identified as bisexual, and 14 reported sexual activity with men in the past 5 years (there was incomplete overlap bet…
Postpartum Depression Among Rural Women From Developed and Developing Countries
Adaptation to Parenthood During the Post-Adoption Period
Substantial research has been conducted on new parents’ adjustment during the transition to biological parenthood. However, very little is known about adjustment experiences during the transition to adoptive parenthood. Such information could assist in creating support systems for adoptive parents similar to those that currently exist for biological parents. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine individual and relational adjustm…

Perceived Determinants of Mental Health for Bisexual People
Objectives. We examined the determinants of mental health, as perceived by bisexual people, in order to begin understanding the disparities in the rates of mental health problems reported by bisexual people versus those reported by heterosexual people, and, in many studies, gay men and lesbians. Methods. Our community-based participatory action research project comprised focus groups and semistructured interviews with 55 bisexual people across th…
Men’s Sexual Orientation and Health in Canada
Women's Sexual Orientation and Health
The current study sought to determine whether health status and health risk behaviors of Canadian women varied based on sexual identity. This was a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Canadian Community Health Survey: cycle 2.1, a national population-based survey designed to gather health data on a representative sample of over 135,000 Canadians including 354 lesbian respondents, 424 bisexual women respondents, and 60,937 heterosexual women…
