The LGBTTQI Home Care Access Project is seeking 100 LGBTTQI people across Ontario to complete a web-based survey.
.
A significant number of LGBTTQI people are receiving health care in their home provided by personal support workers, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, etc. However, we don’t know much about their experiences, such as, do they feel comfortable enough to disclose their sexual orientation and/or their gender identity to their home care service providers, and if so, has disclosure impacted the quality of services received?.

Andrea Daley and Judy MacDonnell at York University in Toronto have partnered with Rainbow Health Ontario and the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre to explore LGBTTQI people’s experiences of using home care services across Ontario. Our research team also includes academic partners from McMaster, McGill, and California State Universities. In addition, we are working with two community-based advisory committees.

.
Through an anonymous web-based survey we have begun exploring the experiences of LGBTTQI people who are 18 years or older, live in Ontario, and have used or are using home care services, through formal and/or informal means of support.

.
Interested participants can complete the survey online by typing in the following link:

.
Participation is confidential and anonymous.

Participants are offered a $20 honorarium.

.
We also offer paper copies of the survey, with pre-paid postage. To request paper copies of the survey, please contact us: lgbthome@yorku.ca or 647-236-1100

.
We are happy to assist in the completion of the survey. Please contact us to set up a time that works for you: lgbthome@yorku.ca or 647-236-1100

Support Us!

Queer Ontario is a not-for-profit organization operating on funds provided to us by our generous and capable supporters. Your donation will be channeled directly into our projects and operations, which will help us continue our educational and reformist work.

Unfortunately, because our mandate is deeply political, we cannot acquire charitable status and, as such, will be unable to issue you with a charitable tax receipt. We encourage your support in light of this systemic shortfall.

You can use our one-time donation option as many times as you would like:

Or, you can become a sustaining donor by contributing to Queer Ontario on a monthly basis.

We appreciate your ongoing generosity and support -- The Queer Ontario Steering Committee.
