This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"LGBTQ+ persons receive worse sexual and mental healthcare than heterosexuals and this disparity is even greater in rural and Northern communities What causes this inequality in healthcare access? After surveying persons in the Northwest Territories in the Canadian Arctic, researchers have now identified three key factors 1) Small communities had few healthcare facilities, leading to privacy concerns 2) Sexual healthcare was biased towards heterosexuality, limiting appropriate care 3) Stigma was perceived against LBGTQ+ identities and sexually transmitted infections, creating shame and fear To better serve LGBTQ+ persons, inclusive and non-judgmental approaches are needed such as self-identifying gender and taking a sex-positive approach and providers must thoroughly understand LGBTQ+ sexual health issues These strategies could help reduce stigma and improve health education, creating more inclusive care Logie, Lys, Dias, Schott, Zouboules, MacNeill, and Mackay..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Rating

How could the best-equipped scientific mission from the world’s most technically advanced industrial country – and Franklin’s third trip to the Arctic – flounder? The Inuit, many of whom were in the immediate vicinity of Franklin’s ill-fated voyage at the time, thrived in that same Arctic environment, and had done so for thousand of years. The Franklin Mystery: Life and Death in the Arctic will provide you with a window on Inuit life, allowing you to explore not only the environments in which the members of the Franklin expedition died, but how and why Inuit have been able to live there successfully for so long. The Franklin Mystery: Life and Death in the Arctic invites you to explore the historical evidence about those tragic events, and come to your own conclusions about what happened, and why.
