Abstract Summary
Equitable access to culturally safe sexual health, reproductive care and justice for Indigenous women, girls and 2S/LGBTQ+ peoples is an issue of concern across Canada. COVID-19 measures and context has amplified existing inequities and barriers to care that already existed for many Indigenous peoples, particularly marginalized groups. This study aims to examine the impact that COVID-19 on shaping access and utilization of sexual and reproductive care and amplify Indigenous voices using community-based participatory and Indigenous grounded research methods. Data will be drawn from 2 established prospective cohort studies to examine the impact of COVID-19 on Indigenous peoples in Metro Vancouver with analysis guided by expert groups of Indigenous elders and community members. Arts-based and Indigenous methodologies will be used to gather Indigenous community voices and create recommendations for enhancing equitable and culturally-safe access to sexual, reproductive care and justice in the ongoing context of COVID-19.
