Abstract Summary
The research will explore the how tailored nutrition programs using an art-based approach and that includes a focus on body image, mental health, and stigma can address the unmet nutritional health needs of gay, bisexual, and trans men. The project will explore the perceptions of dietetics in designing and implementing targeted nutritional programs for gay, bi, and trans; Identify opportunities and key considerations in the development of tailored nutritional programs for GBT men within health service centres for gay, bi, and trans men; Implement tailored nutritional programs to GBT men and assess the appeal of such programs to the clients of LGBTQ health service centres. The research views the health of gay, bi, and trans men as multi-dimensional and moves beyond the traditional focus on sexual health research for gay, bi, and trans, to provide a more holistic understanding on their health.
