Abstract Summary

This Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) proposal is the first step in a larger project which seeks to optimize the inclusion of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQI2S) community with the hospice and palliative care (HPC) services offered within the region serviced by Island Health, one of five health authorities in British Columbia. This larger project is incorporating a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, as such, we will be seeking community members, including patients and caregivers who have had lived experience with HPC to help define our research priorities. The major outcome of this Planning and Dissemination Grant proposal will be the formation of an LGBTQI2S Steering Committee who will work in collaboration with Victoria Hospice (our community partner organization) and our academic team to write an Operating Grant to fund the overall project.
