- Brief history of HIMOffer programming & services in four key areas of healthHIM positioned in Vancouver unique organization for gay men but recognizing that HIM can’t reach everyoneInteractions with OMSMIn terms of the issues that we deal with esp related to heatlh information, but also to mental health, uniquely positioned to learn more about OMSMBut can't reach everyone – transition to Community Consultation approach
- Talk about exciting project that I am involved in – hired in June How to better disseminate informationDescribe populations and communities of gay men and omsm
- This is part of the feedback at this summit
- We’ve heard about the many issues over the last days. but to develop programming and services that HIM etc can use – The rhetoric around gay men’s health has been dominated by the an HIV discourse, which although is important, as we are well aware, is not the only component to achieving the health and well being of gay men.Anecdotal evidence about other guys out there…Some past examples : sex now – terry mentioned yesterday the amount of data that they have accumulated and specifically looking at the different experiences of Gay men and OMSM – will be interested in further analysis to see what that looks like for region specific.ManCount (copies available here) done last year – venue-based recruitment: uncovered some stats that are useful: 2.5 % of positive guys don’t know that they are, 25% don’t tell their doctor – implicationsSo, the motivation behind having a community consultation is to understand what the these different populations and communities of men look like in Vancouver, be able to describe them a little better and consult with them on the strategies that are most appropriate to provide programming and information. out of venues, use more than one method

- literatureIntersections, lifecourse, ethnicityetc etc.
- Borrows in the literature from studies that looked at HIV vulnerability in hard to reach populations of MSM – Specifically Higgins et al, 1996 and Goldbaum et al, 1998 and then in terms of developing the tools, looked at appropriate methods of incorporating a sort of demographic and ethnographic assessment of the populations with health needs assessment literature.
- Also recruited from website, advertising in numerous different waysthrough screening get a variety of guys
- In addition to recruiting, used for online discussion
- Iterative as wellGiving voice to those not typically included in research or other consultationsWere able to talk with gay men OMSM
- Unique positioning to do consultation but also engage in some outreach – test outreach methods – similar to an intervention.. Methods of looking at this.
- Not perfect, only the beginningContribute to HIM that is a research centred, so adding what is being done in the academic sphere .. HIM positioned well for this but with collaboration
