This webinar is presented by Health Data Research Network Canada  (HDRN) as part of their Big IDEAs aout Health Data Speaker Series.

# About the Presentation:

There are increasing opportunities to leverage administrative health data to better understand the experiences of communities who face inequities, including 2S/LGBTQQIA+ communities. But how do 2S/LGBTQQIA+ people feel about these kinds of health data and their linkage to community-based research? For community-based researchers, what can administrative health data tell us about how 2S/LGBTQQIA+ people “show up” in the data? In this session, Anu Radha Verma and Dr. Nathan Lachowsky will discuss the feasibility and acceptability of administrative health data linkage amongst 2S/LGBTQQIA+ communities, the possibility of understanding chronic diseases and their management in our communities, and possibilities for the future.

PLEASE NOTE: This presentation is in English. The webinar will be recorded and posted on hdrn.ca.

# About the Series:

The Big IDEAs About Health Data Speaker Series features a variety of experts discussing how data can be used to advance health equity. It aspires to create a space for conversation about whether and how data can be used to advance equity in Canada; specific uses of and guidelines for the use of disaggregated data (sex and gender, race and ethnicity, disability, income, housing, language etc.); and advancements in data research practices and methods that embed inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility in algorithms, distributed analytics, community involvement and equity assessment tools. Watch and share past webinar recordings. 

This virtual workshop is presented by the Tamarack Institute.

Community engagement is a pathway to building equity. We need to engage authentically while centring the voices of people who are closest to the issues we're working to solve. We need to work together.

Diverse perspectives are important for solution-making and finding ways to break the divide are necessary at local scales to find ways of moving forward. We have to create opportunities for dialogue – for understanding. 

# Learning Objectives

Participants will:

• Learn techniques to help them navigate polarization in real time when facilitating engagement; create shared realities (or shared language) between those holding different perspectives; and increase the chances of healthy dialogue
• Consider how to build relationships and reduce barriers to engagement
• Frame polarized situations to create the conditions to move from debate to dialogue
• Increase their knowledge of consensus-based and dialogue practices
