Abstract

Purpose: We explored the funding areas of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (trans), queer or questioning, and intersex individuals (2S/LGBTQI)-specific health research funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) mentioned in the grant abstracts. Methods: We analyzed the publicly available database of grant abstracts funded by CIHR from 2009-2020 to examine what types of 2S/LGBTQI-specific health outcomes would be studied and in what populations. Results: We found that 58% of awarded grant abstracts mentioned studying sexually transmitted diseases, the majority of which was on human immunodeficiency virus. Of the funded 2S/LGBTQI grant abstracts that specified the gender of the population to be studied (n=23), less then 9% mentioned studying cisgender women. Almost 40% mentioned including trans women/girls, and 30% mentioned including trans men/boys. None of the studies examined mentioned work with the Two-Spirit community. Conclusion: These results reflect larger social and health inequities that require structural level changes in research to support the 2S/LGBTQI community.

加拿大对性和性别少数群体的健康研究资助模式反映了对妇女的排斥。

目的：我们探讨了拨款摘要中提到的加拿大卫生研究院（CIHR）资助的双灵、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人（跨性别）、同性恋或质疑者以及双性人（2S/LGBTQI）特定健康研究的资助领域。研究方法我们分析了 2009-2020 年由 CIHR 资助的、可公开获取的拨款摘要数据库，以研究将对哪些类型的 2S/LGBTQI 特定健康结果进行研究，以及在哪些人群中进行研究。结果：我们发现，在获得资助的论文摘要中，有 58% 提到了对性传播疾病的研究，其中大部分是关于人类免疫缺陷病毒的研究。在明确指出研究人群性别的 2S/LGBTQI 资助摘要中（n=23），只有不到 9% 的摘要提到研究顺性别女性。近 40% 的研究提到包括变性女性/女孩，30% 的研究提到包括变性男性/男孩。所审查的研究中没有一项提到与双灵群体的合作。结论这些结果反映了更大的社会和健康不平等，需要在研究中进行结构性变革，以支持双灵/LGBTQI 群体。

期刊介绍： LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
