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.'
