abstract: 'ObjectivesSocial scientists have demonstrated that family health work is
interlinked with heteronormative gender inequities. Yet family-based
public health interventions rarely incorporate a gender transformative
approach or address heteronormativity as a potential health barrier in
North America. Instead, attention to gender surfaces primarily in family
health interventions conducted in low- to middle-income countries with
majority Black and racialized populations. The objective of this article
is to establish the importance of designing health interventions that
account for heteronormative relations in Ontarian families by drawing on
empirical data from the Guelph Family Health Study (GFHS).MethodsWe draw
on data (February-October 2019) from (1) semi-structured interviews with
20 families and with 4 health educators facilitating the GFHS home
visits and (2) observational data of 11 GFHS home visits and 1 health
educator training day. Informed by gender transformation theory, data
were analyzed and coded to understand the impact of gender, sexuality,
and place in family health interventions.ResultsPre-existing
heteronormative parenting relations were reinforced through GFHS
participation: the GFHS was mother-led, increasing some mothers'' stress
levels. Fathers tended to consider paid work a justification for
disengaging from the GFHS, and their detachment sometimes obstructed
mothers'' intervention efforts. Health educators (all women) were caught
in these relations, feeling like because of their gender, they were
viewed by parents as confidants and marriage
counsellors.ConclusionFindings emphasize the need for expanding the
epistemic and methodological approaches to family-based health
interventions, changing the demographic and geographic emphasis within
the field, and designing interventions that focus on societal-level
changes. Heterosexuality has not been analyzed as a risk factor within
the public health field, but our findings indicate the need for further
study.'
