Knowledge Thirsty Thursdays: A Closer Look: Transgender Health and STBBIs (Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections) (Part 3 of 3)
June 29, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Transgender people are a key population identified in Canada’s Pan-Canadian Sexually Transmitted and Blood-borne Infections Framework for Action due to the impacts of stigma, discrimination, and systemic health disparities they experience. Transgender people face specific challenges in access to healthcare that result in poorer health and greater risk of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBIs), as well as mental health issues, addiction, and suicide. They are also often targets of violence and discrimination. As a result, understanding and responding to the needs of the transgender population is essential to combat these issues and ensure equitable access to health care and support.
Join us for this 3-part series focused on transgender health and STBBIs. This Knowledge Thirsty Thursday’s series will further your understanding of gender, explore why this population is considered a key population under Canada’s Pan-Canadian Sexually Transmitted and Blood-borne Infections Framework for Action, and learn more about the existing public health limitations that impact service provisions for this community.
June 29 – Part 3: The Trans Community and Public Health
Building upon the information shared in Part 2, this session will explore Canada’s public health framework for transgender health and STBBI (Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infection) prevention. We dive into the limitations within research and data collection, underreporting, legal restrictions, language barriers, and other factors which may impact how services are delivered. We will then explore opportunities for change to support positive health outcomes in Canada.
