Abstract

Drawing on data from focus groups with 152 trans youth aged 14 to 18 years in the United States, this article explores the factors that the participants understood as contributing to adolescent pregnancy among trans youth. Youth posited that unintended pregnancies occur due to barriers to contraceptives; a lack of gender-affirming sexual health education; sexual assault and dating violence; and mental health–influenced sexual risk-taking. Participants suggested that intended pregnancies may be a self-development strategy; a self-directed effort to repress/change gender modality or identity; and due to the perceived incompatibility between pregnancy and transition, where pregnancy must occur prior to transitioning.

Abstract

Aims: Identify the relationship between experiences of discrimination or violence and health outcomes for transgender and nonbinary Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) compared to their white trans and nonbinary peers. Design: A national online survey, the 2019 Canadian Trans and Nonbinary Youth Health Survey, was conducted among youth ages 14–25, in English and French. Methods: Participants were recruited from November 2018 to May 2019 (N = 1519). BIPOC youth comprised 25.7% of the sample (n = 390). Questions about six types of discrimination (e.g. racism and sexism) and violence (physically threatened or injured), plus foregone health care, self‐harm and suicidality were drawn from existing validated measures. Analyses involved cross‐tabulations with chi‐square tests and logistic regressions. Results: Trans and non‐binary BIPOC reported significantly higher prevalence of suicide attempts (24.9% vs. 19.5%) and violence victimization compared to white youth. They had significantly higher odds of self‐harm and foregone health care when experiencing discrimination by ethnicity or culture. All types of violence were significantly associated with higher odds of foregone physical health care, self‐harm, suicide ideation and suicide attempt. Conclusion: In Canada, trans and nonbinary youth who are BIPOC face disparities in health outcomes and experiences of violence and discrimination compared to white trans and nonbinary youth. Impact Nurses should assess for violence exposure and discrimination among trans and/or nonbinary youth of colour, and promote health equity by advocating for policies to reduce violence and discrimination, including racism, for trans and nonbinary young people.

Abstract

The Centre of Excellence in Cancer Prevention Blog was a web-based resource that was published online for five years (October 2013 through October 2018). The blog provided a regular source of accessible, evidence-based and current information on cancer prevention topics written by experts in the field. It was developed to be a useful and interesting resource for researchers, students, community organizations, policymakers, and members of the public interested in learning more about cancer prevention. Authors of blog posts include faculty from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver and Okanagan campuses, and the University of Victoria, students and staff at the Centre of Excellence in Cancer Prevention, BC Cancer, and community organizations (Canadian Cancer Society British Columbia Yukon, Canadian Cancer Society National, the BC Healthy Living Alliance, and the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation). Collectively, the blog topics comprise a tour de force of the field of cancer prevention, with special focus on activities carried out by the Centre of Excellence in Cancer Prevention and in Canada more widely during this time period. Blogs include attention to a wide array of cancer risk factors (energy balance, shiftwork, tobacco, sun exposure, nutrition, radioactivity, infections, alcohol, obesity, physical activity, and environmental exposures including climate change). A number of defined population groups with special concerns are highlighted, including Aboriginal Canadians, South Asian immigrants, gay men, men in general, Filipinos, and international variation. Issues that affect the population as a whole are also addressed, including economics, taxation, complementary and alternative medicine, and socioeconomic status. Specific intervention programs at the Centre of Excellence in Cancer Prevention are highlighted (e.g., the Breast Cancer Prevention and Risk Assessment Clinic, Cooking Class for Prostate Cancer Patients and Partners, Cancer Prevention 101, and the shiftworkers project), as well as other programs in BC and Canada (e.g., Food Explorers, It’s My Life).
