Reconciling Access to Traditional and Other Forms of Healthcare for Indigenous 2S/GBQ People: Results from Sex Now 2018

Harlan Pruden, Ryan Stillwagon In an era of Truth and Reconciliation, there is a collective responsibility to centre Indigenous peoples in health research, however there is little research examining healthcare access for Indigenous Two-Spirit and gay, bisexual, queer (2S/GBQ) men in Canada. We used a two-eyed seeing approach to descriptively analyze the 2018 Sex Now survey of 2S/GBQ Canadian men, examining access to both traditional and western forms of healthcare and healing. Led by a Two-Spirit Dry Lab of Indigenous and non-Indigenous epidemiologists, researchers, and community activists, these results describe key points of access to healthcare services and existing gaps for Indigenous 2S/GBQ people in Canada.
