Sharing: The LGBTTQI Home Care Access Survey

October 26th, 2012 Comments off

Greetings,
.
Please find information below relating to a survey that will be conducted regarding home care access and LGBTTQI persons across Ontario. If interested, please read below and contact as directed. Thanks!

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

Announcing the Queer Ontario ‘Pressing Issues’ Survey

February 8th, 2012 Comments off

.
We are excited to announce the launch of the Queer Ontario Pressing Issues Survey, one of the many new projects we will be rolling out in the next couple of months to reach out to LGBTQ* individuals across Ontario, and to expand our work beyond Toronto.
.
The survey has been created so LGBTQ people across the province can provide us with a list of the issues they feel are most important to them as LGBTQ persons, which we will then use to develop projects and initiatives that are relevant to a greater number of LGBTQ people province-wide. As such, your participation will be greatly appreciated and will be invaluable to our work and direction as an organization.
.
About the Survey
.
The survey itself consists of five questions, which should take approximately 3-10 minutes to answer. We have both an
online version and a Word (.doc) version available for you to use.
.
Indeed, this research and re-focusing will take place while we continue our work on our two core issues: the fight for ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ in the Ontario Human Rights Code, and the creation of safer spaces for LGBTQ youth across Ontario.
.
If you have any questions about any of the above, do not hesitate to contact us at info@queerontario.org — we will be more than happy to answer them!
.
Looking forward to serving you better,
.

* Note:  For the purposes of this survey, ‘LGBTQ’ will refer to individuals who are marginalized because of their sex, gender, and/or sexuality. This includes, but is not limited to: individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transsexual, transgender, genderqueer, agender, two-spirited, cross-dressing, intersexed, neutrois, asexual, pansexual, polyamorous, kinky, and/or nudist. This survey is also open to allies who can assist us in our work.
.
We know that forms of oppression based on sex, gender, and/or sexuality cannot be seen in isolation from other forms of oppression, so we encourage their joint articulation as well.
