Enhancing reproductive health equity for Two-Spirit, Transgender, Non-binary, and Gender Diverse (2STNBGD) communities in British Columbia through community engagement and integrated Knowledge Translation

This Health System Impact Fellowship is co-funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Michael Smith Health Research BC, and the BC Ministry of Health (health system partner), to help build BC’s health policy research capacity for the integration of policy research into decision-making. Gender-affirming care is a fundamental right supported by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In this project, the BC Ministry of Health will collaborate with a research team at Simon Fraser University and Two-Spirit, Transgender, Non-binary, and Gender Diverse (2STNBGD) community members to explore what it means for 2STNBGD people to feel safe in reproductive health care spaces and use these insights to collaboratively create resources designed to promote safety.
