QX Queer Health Literature Review

A literature review is available electronically (please contact us for a print copy). The literature review gives an overview research on the social determinants of health and their relevance for the Queer communities in Peel Region. The term Queer as used in this document is used as an umbrella term to capture all folk who identify under the LGBTTTIQQ acronym (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Transsexual, Two Spirited, Intersexed, Questioning and Queer). It is recognized however that not all trans folk would identify s queer if they identify as heterosexual. While the social determinants of health are no different for Queer and Trans communities, the literature review based on existing research, highlights how Queer and Trans communities can experience the social determinants of health in a unique way that includes the impacts of heterosexism and trans/homophobia. Your feedback and comments are welcome!
