Experiences of violent victimization and unwanted sexual behaviours among gay, lesbian, bisexual and other sexual minority people, and the transgender population, in Canada, 2018 / by Brianna Jaffray.: CS85-002/40-9E-PDF

"Cultural stigmatization and its effects can be experienced in many diverse settings and can take many forms. This Juristat article provides, for the first time, a national analysis of the experiences of violence among transgender people in Canada, and builds on the existing body of research of the experiences of sexual minority Canadians. It will explore the unique experiences of both sexual minority and transgender Canadians, specifically with regard to the wide spectrum of behaviours that encompass gender-based violence. The measures that will be examined include the prevalence of unwanted sexual behaviours experienced in public, online and at work, as well as physical and sexual assault experienced since age 15 and in the past 12 months. Mental health indicators such as self-rated mental health, medically diagnosed mood and anxiety disorders, and suicidal ideation are also explored, in addition to health risk behaviours such as binge drinking and illicit drug use"--Page 4.
