Episodes
In our last episode, we are joined by guest Heather to discuss another theme of our qualitative analysis - changes in safety-related concerns among trans and nonbinary people during the pandemic. Through this episode our guest describes the ways in which some trans and nonbinary people experienced heightened safety concerns in addition to those related to the pandemic.
Through this episode, our guest Shadi speaks about another theme of the qualitative data analysis - the way COVID strained social networks, made it challenging to connect to the trans community, and the impact of virtual communication had on relationships.
In this episode along with our guest Hazel, we focus on another theme we found in the Trans Pulse COVID qualitative paper. We discuss the heightened financial, employment, and housing precarity that some trans and nonbinary folks experienced during the pandemic and the way this impacted community members.
In this first episode, podcast host Leo Rutherford describes Trans Pulse Canada and its sub-study about COVID-19. He shares details of a thematic analysis of qualitative free-form responses from a national survey of trans and nonbinary people. In addition, the public health implications and key take-aways from the results of our study are described.
