CHECK-UP ON 2SLGBTQIA+ HEALTHCARE IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
Barriers and Facilitators to Healthcare Access (Healthcare Providers and Student Report)
In 2023, Quadrangle NL conducted a province-wide study on 2SLGBTQIA+ healthcare access in Newfoundland and Labrador. This report presents findings from two groups: healthcare providers and healthcare students practicing and training across NL. Data were collected through online surveys completed by 57 healthcare providers and 12 healthcare students. Companion reports from 2SLGBTQIA+ community members are published separately.
Note: The healthcare providers and students sample is relatively small, and the findings in this report should be understood as preliminary and exploratory. The percentages reported are therefore not representative and should not be generalized to all healthcare providers and students across the province. However, we believe these findings reveal important patterns and experiences that warrant further attention.

SENIOR CARE AND HOUSING NL REPORT 2021
In May 2021 Quadrangle NL and Gray Gays NL partnered to perform research on the experiences of LGBTQI2S+ older adults in Newfoundland and Labrador. A survey along with one-on-one interviews with participants were conducted with members of the LGBTQI2S+ community members on senior care and housing in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This report was created from that data collected from community members that were 50+ living or plan to retire in Newfoundland and Labrador at the time of the research project. Thanks to funding provided to Gray Gays NL.
This research was funded by the City of St. John’s Non-Profit Housing Catalyst Fund.
