Gamification as an e-learning tool: A Literature Review

The purpose of the article is to highlight the status of gamification of the educational process as an element of e-learning. The use of the game space in the educational process requires compliance with a number of specific conditions, so the task of the study is to determine the organisational and functional characteristics of gamification. The methodology involves the use of the principles of qualitative research, which analyses scientific views (53 sources were analysed) on the use of gamification in the educational process. The systematic literature review is conducted using the PRISMA 2020 flowchart, which allowed for a variable selection of sources relevant to the study of the current problem. The results of the study indicate the following trends in the positioning of gamification tools in the e-learning cluster: auxiliary status of gamification (42%), reinforcing status of the game factor (39%), alternative status of game-based learning (15%), negative feedback on the actualisation of gamification (4%). The literature review confirms the trend of involving a game case in the educational paradigm. At the same time, the role and format of gamification does not have a clear algorithm for implementation and functioning in learning activities, which indicates the need to streamline this cluster of e-learning. The scientific and pedagogical discourse today does not have a clear answer to the general positioning of gamification in the educational system. Institutionally, gamification is enshrined in educational strategies due to global trends in the digitalisation of society, but at the organisational and functional level, there are contradictions about the status of the game space in the structure of e-learning. The study identified two cases of game-based learning platforms in the innovative educational space: an autonomous online game-based learning format (54%) and a game tool as an element of the digital learning environment (46%). The scientific novelty of the study is focused on the correlation of indicators of quantitative increase in the level of gamification and qualitative indicators of the effectiveness of this e-learning case. Prospects for scientific research are focused on developing a strategy for the development of gamification in the educational sphere in general and in the context of e-learning in particular. Conclusion. Thus, gamification has gained positions in the e-learning system and is forming its own niche in the educational paradigm. The rapid digitalisation of the socio-cultural space causes the diversity and disorder of the organisation of the e-learning game case (especially in the context of the educational and pedagogical status), which is expressed in the scientific discourse of the last five years.

Virtual reality facilitated travel inspiration: the role of pleasure and arousal

ABSTRACT The paper investigates how Virtual Reality (VR)-facilitated travel inspiration increases visit intention through pleasure and arousal. The research rationale is based on our conceptual framework suggesting that the transmission model of inspiration (from the state of inspiration-by to the state of inspiration-to) and the model of emotional states of pleasure and arousal go in tandem. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses with data from 290 participants recruited through Prolific Academic who had visited a destination via a 360° VR activity. Our findings demonstrate that VR inspired-by has significant relationships with pleasure and arousal. Pleasure is a complementary partial mediator of the relationship between inspired-by and inspired-to. Similarly, our findings demonstrate that there is a positive effect of pleasure on visiting intention through inspired-to. Arousal neither appears to mediate the relationship between inspired-by and inspired-to nor has any significant relationship with visiting intention.

Collective leadership development in the civic arena

PurposeAs a collective paradigm of leadership emerges in the literature, many community leadership programs still align with leader-centric perspectives. The Kansas Leadership Center’s Leadership Transformation Grant is an exemplar of developing collective leadership in the civic arena. The purpose of this article is twofold: (1) to present the findings of a community-engaged, qualitative research study on the impact of collective leadership development on the practice of civic leadership and (2) to discuss relevant implications learned from reflections on the methodology for the practice of community-engaged research.Design/methodology/approachThis study is a form of engaged research (Van de Ven, 2007) and is consistent with the principles of community-based research (Strand, Marullo, Cutforth, Stoecker, & Donohue, 2003). I took an exploratory approach to this study because the knowledge intersection of collective leadership, civic leadership and leadership development is still emerging and understudied. I explored the individual, group and systems levels as three components of a complex adaptive system (Uhl-Bien, Marion, & McKelvey, 2007). To better understand the dynamic relationship between individual, group and system in this grant team, I employed a three-phase study including methods of deliberative civic engagement, open-ended survey and interview.FindingsFindings illustrate the effectiveness of the grant program on developing a shared language and leadership framework and clarifying leadership goals for participants. Implications include the importance of collective leadership development opportunities that center adaptive challenges and convene participants across levels of leadership and sectors. Additionally, the findings highlight the need to consider authority, identity and culture as central components of the practice of leadership. Reflections on the community-engaged methodology demonstrate the value of learning about leadership practices from the community practitioners to inform community leadership development interventions. Implications include approaching research as iterative and pushing back on academic norms that provide tension in engaged work.Originality/valueLittle research crosses all three boundaries of collective leadership, leadership development and civic leadership literature. This intersection focuses on understanding how collective leadership can contribute to enhancing the practice of civic leadership. The current study is situated within this knowledge gap and explores (1) the experiences of members of a civic group who have (2) participated in leadership development that (3) aligns with a collective leadership paradigm and are (4) trying to make progress on an adaptive challenge.

Abstract B076: Qualitative insights into building an effective community advisory board for cancer disparities research

Abstract To address cancer disparities in minority and underserved communities, many organizations and research studies use a community advisory board (CAB) to better understand the needs, preferences, and perceptions of communities experiencing health inequities. Researchers have described a range of problems resulting in less than optional engagement of CAB members. Academic members of an NCI-funded cancer partnership interviewed 15 of the 20 members of their CAB to better understand their perceptions of their roles and expectations, as well as barriers and facilitators of engagement. Two trained team members coded the transcripts and conducted qualitative analysis using an iterative inductive/deductive framework. Deductively, we used principles of community-engaged research, and inductively we used coded quotes to identify details in the CAB members’ perspectives. The research team collaborated in organizing major themes into a conceptual framework to describe context, expectations, barriers and facilitators, and recommended strategies for strengthening involvement and benefit of CAB participation for its members. CAB members identified individual factors associated with their involvement including skills (communication, problem solving, interpersonal, leadership, professional, and advocacy), and motivations (community commitment, personal or family experience with cancer). The interviews indicated that there is a gap between CAB members’ perceptions of their roles and what they expect from participation and attendance in CAB meetings, and those of the academic team as conveyed verbally, in the CAB manual, and during onboarding activities. Barriers to enthusiastic engagement include disruptions associated with the COVID experience, members’ competing priorities, and role ambiguity. The CAB members’ resources and connections to the community were identified as facilitators. All these factors influenced the amount and quality of engagement of members with the academic partners and the community at large. Participants suggested many useful adaptations of the CAB-academic partnership, including enhanced training, improved communication, explicit role definitions, clear expectations around engagement with research, and better onboarding for new members. Scientists using a CAB to enhance community engagement should approach building a robust CAB as a deliberate process involving considerable planning, organization, and attention. Projects using a CAB can use the findings from this project to organize a community-academic partnership that will effectively and efficiently contribute to clinical, translational, and community-engaged work addressing cancer health disparities.

Exploring the Impact of Folic Acid Supplementation and Vitamin B12 Deficiency on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Pregnant Women with Celiac Disease.

Background: Celiac disease is a chronic small intestinal immune-mediated enteropathy precipitated by exposure to dietary gluten, affecting approximately 1% of the global population and two million Americans. An increasing number of studies have identified a link between celiac disease and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy and after birth. Additionally, both celiac disease and pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for nutrient deficiencies, specifically vitamin B12 and folate. Methods: This review examines the current literature related to the folate trap and vitamin B12 deficiency in patients with celiac disease and pregnant women independently and provides rationale for future research to explore the relationship between the folate-to-12 ratio in pregnant women with celiac disease. Results: Deficiencies in vitamin B12 are linked with several negative maternal and fetal health outcomes including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, spontaneous abortion/miscarriage, preterm birth, neural tube defects, intrauterine growth restriction, and low gestational age and birthweight. Conclusions: Folic acid supplementation is widely recommended during pregnancy, but complementary vitamin B12 supplementation is not standard. Physicians should consider celiac disease screening during pregnancy as well as vitamin B12 supplementation.

Efforts to Introduce an Indigenous Identifier in a Canadian Provincial Health Authority

Across Canada, Indigenous identity data is not routinely collected in healthcare settings. This paper focuses on [province] and whether the largest and only province-wide healthcare services organization in Canada, [healthcare organization name] should implement an Indigenous identifier in their new electronic medical record system. Due to the current absence of an Indigenous identifier, it is difficult to identify Indigenous peoples in administrative healthcare data to guide healthcare decision-making specifically for Indigenous peoples and to assist with population-specific disease surveillance and prevention programs. Moreover, it is often challenging for Indigenous nations, communities, and organizations to access this data. The data that does exist in [province] frequently excludes large segments of the Indigenous population. Indigenous researchers globally have called for improved health data in alignment with Indigenous research principles, data governance and sovereignty. This paper reports on an exploratory study of potential avenues to enhance availability of Indigenous specific health data in [province]. Of interest are possible supports, concerns, and potential barriers for the introduction of a policy to collect self-disclosed Indigenous identity data in the [org] new electronic medical record system. This research included interviews and focus group sessions with diverse subject matter experts including academics, Indigenous health practitioners and healthcare administrators. The project was embedded in the [removed] which is an [province] based research network for improving primary health with and for Indigenous peoples

Between control and complexity: RRI in the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board

This paper investigates the integration of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles with focus on public engagement within the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board (NBAB). RRI, as an inherently relational set of practices, requires flexibility and adaptability from the State to promote responsible innovation. The NBAB case study provides insights into the complexities and tensions of State intervention, highlighting the necessary shift from rigid control to a more flexible approach. This shift is crucial for effectively fostering RRI among citizens, firms, and organizations. By examining NBAB's role in evaluating and advising on the ethical implications of biotechnology, this study demonstrates the importance of inclusive and deliberative governance. The findings suggest that public institutions must adapt to changing societal needs and engage diverse stakeholders to promote responsible innovation practices effectively.

Human Rights in Science: Observations From Ethics Committees on Medical Research Protocols

Objective: To determine the frequency with which Research Ethics Committees (RECs) identify breaches of ethical principles in research protocols. Theoretical Framework: Ethical principles in human research are established in the Nuremberg Code (informed consent and the common good), the Declaration of Helsinki (protection of vulnerable groups), and the Belmont Report (autonomy, beneficence, and justice). These principles are monitored by RECs to protect participants and ensure fairness in resource use. Informed consent ensures autonomy and the integrity of the research. Method: Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar up to November 30, 2023. A meta-analysis of single proportions was performed. PROSPERO Registration: CRD42021291893 Results and Discussion: Nine publications were reviewed, revealing violations of the principle of justice in up to 100% of protocols. In Latin America, violations were observed in 9% (95% CI: 7-12) of protocols, while in Europe, the rate was 15% (95% CI: 9-24). Autonomy was observed in 26% (95% CI: 20-33) of protocols, with 17% (95% CI: 13-22) in experimental studies. Observations on beneficence varied between 41.17% and 77.38%. Protocol-specific observations ranged between 5.26% and 27.11%, showing regional disparities among study types. RECs must ensure thorough evaluations to uphold autonomy and maximize benefits for participants. Research Implications: Provide a foundation for future investigations on the work of RECs, the implementation of ethical principles, and equity in research. Originality/Value: The publication of observations on ethical principles made by the Research Ethics Committees is essential for drafting new research protocols.

Priorities and Incentives for the Mobility of Russian IT Specialists

Introduction. The mobility of IT specialists differs from the mobility of all other socioprofessional groups. The study of mobility is relevant, since the movement of IT specialists significantly affects the peculiarities of the formation of the digital space, the success of many types of activities of modern society, and its prospects. Sociology has accumulated a scientific foundation for covering mobility based on new research principles, which makes it possible to identify specific characteristics of the mobility of IT specialists.Methodology and sources. The conceptual theoretical and methodological positions of the study are represented by a complex of ideas, the basis of which is the work of P.A. Sorokin and his followers a bout the essence of mobility. The article is based on ideas a bout the mobile society formulated in the works of D. Urry, M. Castells, B. Latour, K. Knorr-Cetina, and the provisions of the works of D.V. Ivanov about new forms of integration of the digital and streaming society, where the mobility of IT specialists begins to play a new, more important role. A number of sources were used, where attention was paid to the analysis of the mobility of Russian IT specialists as a phenomenon reflecting the characteristics of their movements in the conditions of modern Russian society.Results and discussion. Two main results of the study show, firstly, that the professional component of the mobility of IT specialists is an active beginning of movements and changes – their mobility. Ultimately, the professional mobility of IT specialists is aimed at finding the most suitable social environment that allows them to successfully implement their professional activities. Secondly, it was revealed that the specifics of the work activities of IT specialists form the motivation for changes and movements, where personal interests can be very significant and do not always coincide with the interests of IT organizations.Conclusion. Analysis of the generalized materials allows us to characterize some prospects and incentives for the mobility of Russian IT specialists, to formulate the author’s definition of mobility as a phenomenon determined by the social and professional attributes of the digital space, as well as the goals of mobility, as achieving the most adequate conditions for professional self-realization, as well as ensuring preservation and correction professional identity in the IT space.

How to … do decolonial research.

The imperative for decolonial research in health professions education (HPE) is rooted in a resistance to coloniality, which characterises modern medicine and HPE. Coloniality is a residual effect of colonialism, which upholds White, Western, Eurocentric knowledge systems while simultaneously marginalising diverse epistemologies. We outline the problematic nature of coloniality in HPE typified in unequal research partnerships, skewed student exchanges and poor representation of diverse authors. Decoloniality advocates for the active disruption and dismantling of colonial hierarchies to promote epistemic justice. We suggest a practical framework for applying decolonial principles in research, emphasising awareness (critical consciousness), deliberation (reflexivity) and action (transformative praxis). Practical steps for decolonial practice include interrogating research conceptualisation, sharing power and diversifying research teams, adopting participatory and reciprocal (mutually beneficial) methodologies, (re)centring marginalised voices and amplifying 'Other' knowledges, and disrupting hegemonic dissemination practices. By employing decolonial strategies, researchers can produce equitable, socially accountable and epistemically just scholarship, ultimately enhancing the relevance and impact of HPE research for all people globally.

Social Determinants of COVID-19 Pandemic Control: Participatory Learnings From Everyday Experiences in Cape Town, South Africa.

As countries adapted their disaster responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Africa responded with an alert-level risk approach based on epidemiological principles that impacted all societal levels. We explored the everyday experiences of people in Cape Town whose basic needs were met and who could report on the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic control. Gaining insight into their perspectives contributes to knowledge that can inform policies and practices for managing future public health crises. Community-Based Participatory Research principles guided the design and a series of facilitated dialogues with 18 research participants. The thematic analysis was deepened through two colloquiums with members of an overarching research consortium and a participant reflection workshop. The pandemic impacted individuals, their interpersonal relationships, workplaces and communities, leading to societal processes such as stigma, virtue signalling and the subversion of mandates. The public health response had mixed reactions, with useful information about preventive measures being diluted by COVID-19 denialism and fake news. Health and other authorities were frequently perceived as out of touch with, and unresponsive to, the everyday realities of local communities. Our study demonstrates the connectedness of people and the need to maintain and re-establish severed connections. A holistic approach to health care and promotion from social determinants of health and a community-engaged perspective may significantly increase the outcomes of public health responses. People with everyday experience of the COVID-19 pandemic-including community members, healthcare workers, case managers, carers and researchers-collaborated on the study design, interview schedule, data interpretation, analysis and refinement of this article.

Features of the immune profile of workers of a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise in conditions of contamination of biological media with rare earth elements (using the example of thulium)

Introduction. The active use of rare earth elements, including thulium (Tm), in various technological processes increases the risks of health problems associated with the professional activities of the employee. The purpose of the study is to study the characteristics of the immune profile of workers at a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise under conditions of contamination of biological media with rare earth elements (using the example of thulium). Materials and methods. 35 employees of a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise were examined. The comparison group consisted of workers with the level of thulium concentration in the blood within the reference interval (n=17), the observation group — workers whose blood thulium content was 2 times higher than the upper limit of the reference values (n=18). The content of thulium in biological media (blood) was studied using mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. Flow cytometry was used to detect Annexin V-FITC+7AAD+-lymphocytes (late apoptosis/necrosis), enzyme immunoassay — IL6, TNF, general IgE, allergosorbent — specific IgG to lanthanides. Results. It was found that the workers in the observation group had a 2.3-fold increase in the content of total IgE and a 2.0-fold increase in the expression of specific IgG to lanthanides in relation to the results of the comparison group (p<0.05). It was found that with an excess thulium content in the blood, there is an inhibition of cell death by 15% relative to the values of the comparison group. Limitations of the study. Limitations of the study relate to the limited sample size. Ethics. The study protocol was approved by the Biomedical Ethics Committee of the local ethical committee of the Federal Budgetary Institution "FSC MPT URZN" No. 2 dated March 22, 2023. The study was carried out in accordance with the requirements set out in the WMA Declaration of Helsinki "Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects" (1964, 2013). Voluntary informed consent to participate in the study and use of personal data was signed by all participants.

32 Biotics: Are there differences?

Abstract In companion animals, the search for dietary ingredients and supplements that may promote health and longevity continues. Because stool quality issues and gastrointestinal diseases are common, substances addressing gastrointestinal health are of interest and some of the most heavily studied. Given the importance that microbiota have on host health and disease, many strategies function by directly or indirectly influencing the microbial species that inhabit the gut. Dietary fibers may impact gut health by maintaining stool quality, providing laxation, reducing fecal odor, and modulating fermentative end-products. A variety of biotic substances may also be used to promote gastrointestinal health. Four primary biotic substances exist, namely probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics. Over the past decade, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) has sponsored expert consensus panels to update the biotic definitions, offer criteria for qualification, outline guiding principles for research and development, and provide implications for a variety of stakeholders (scientists; media; regulators; industry). In 2014, Hill et al. defined probiotics as “live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit”. Gibson et al. (2017) defined prebiotics as “substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit.” Probiotics and prebiotics have been widely used in pet products over the past few decades. Swanson et al. (2020) updated the synbiotic definition to be a “mixture comprising live microorganisms and substrate(s) selectively utilized by host microorganisms that confer a health benefit”. Synbiotics may contain components that operate independently (complementary synbiotic) or in together (synergistic synbiotic) to promote host health. In 2021, Salminen et al. defined postbiotics as “preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit.” Yeast and bacteria-based mixtures falling under this definition have become more popular in pet nutrition as of late, but the postbiotic definition is often misused. This presentation will discuss each biotic substance category in regard to their use in dogs and cats. Mechanisms of action, potential benefits of consumption, evidence of successful use in companion animals, and ideas for the future of biotics will be presented.

Debriefing to nurture clinical reasoning in nursing students: A design-based research study

BackgroundStudents' clinical reasoning can be stimulated by guiding them to use their experiences with patients to develop own illness scripts. Debriefing during hospital shifts invites students to put patient experiences into words, link them to previously acquired knowledge and make connections. ObjectivesTo develop, implement and evaluate a debriefing procedure for nursing internships based on illness script theory and generate corresponding design principles. DesignQualitative design-based research. SettingClinical education in dedicated educational hospital units. ParticipantsNurse educators, nursing students. MethodsFrom a collaboration between nurse educators and a researcher, a short, peer-debriefing procedure was designed, tested and enacted through four cycles of planning, action, evaluation and reflection. Students drew mind maps about patients. Nurse educators and students joined focus group discussions to evaluate outcomes and processes. Mind map and iterative thematic analysis were applied to these data. ResultsAn adjusted design and more extensive design principles resulted. Differences in mind maps were evident over time. Three themes in the process evaluation were established: trigger to reason; energy giving and taking; and form follows function. ConclusionsThis design-based investigation displays how nurse educators could design and implement a debriefing procedure to facilitate students' clinical reasoning skills and how students could learn from this. This method integrates research, innovation and collaboration. The design and enactment under real-life hospital conditions generated design principles for educators and researchers which may be useful for those seeking to improve teaching and learning clinical reasoning in practice. More clarification is needed about the path from design through enactment to real change in practice.

Qualitative insights into the effectiveness of a targeted nursing research support program: Understanding and experiences of support recipients and providers

AimThe aims of this study were to examine the effectiveness of a targeted nursing research support program for clinical nurses. BackgroundNursing research capacity is increasingly essential to clinical nurses and currently relatively low. Therefore, effective and systematic nursing research training programs are urgently needed to improve the scientific research abilities of nurses. MethodsQualitative research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a targeted nursing research support program. The program was formulated by considering the research training requirements of nurses and standard nursing research procedures, through literature review and group deliberations. The program was implemented for 973 nurses using a “plan–action–observation–reflection” learning cycle. The research outcomes achieved by nurses were evaluated and thematic analysis conducted to assess the perspectives of nurses and teachers regarding the research support program. ResultsNurses participating in the targeted nursing research support program collectively accomplished 195 research proposals and authored 332 original research articles. Nurses shared their rich experience as “understanding my needs and achieving my potential”, including: (1) systematic procedures and coherence; (2) easy to learn, easy to use; (3) a sense of belonging and mutual support; (4) self-confidence growth; and (5) high expectations. Further, the experiences of teachers were summarized as “helping others is helping myself”, including: (1) teaching is learning; (2) the happiness of being needed; and (3) the importance of scientific teaching. ConclusionThis study evaluated the experiences of nurses and educators involved in a targeted nursing research support program and assessed its preliminary effectiveness. The findings revealed that the program, grounded in scientific and systematic research principles, was beneficial to both nurses and teachers. Based on our findings, we recommend that nursing educators should prioritize comprehensive, practice-integrated research training programs and create supportive environments, to effectively enhance the research capacity of nurses.

Research on the Creative Principles of Chinese Thriller Films

The Chinese thriller film, as a specific genre, exhibits unique principles and characteristics in its creation, which is also significant in terms of cultural heritage and creative expression. Nevertheless, the current systematic investigation of the research principles and creative connotations of the sample remains inadequate. The objective of this paper is to analyze the research principles of Chinese thriller-horror films and identify the sources and evolution of the narrative materials underlying them. The analysis employs both the literature analysis method and the case study method. The former is used to examine the expression of the combination of thriller imagery and traditional Chinese cultural symbols in the film, while the latter is employed to explore the cultural elements belonging to the Chinese nation's tradition. Additionally, the analysis considers the distinctive characteristics of the film in terms of artistic scene layout, sound, and color, as well as the significance and role of such films. By examining the fundamental principles of Chinese thriller film-making, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the distinctive appeal and artistic nuances of Chinese thrillers, offering insights that can inform and inspire the creation of Chinese films.

Building meaningful collaboration in conservation genetics and genomics

AbstractGenetic diversity is the foundation of biodiversity, and preserving it is therefore fundamental to conservation practice. However, global conservation efforts face significant challenges integrating genetic and genomic approaches into applied management and policy. As collaborative partnerships are increasingly recognized as key components of successful conservation efforts, we explore their role and relevance in the Australian context, by engaging with key entities from across the conservation sector, including academia, botanic gardens, herbaria, seed banks, governmental/non-governmental organisations, private industry, museums, Traditional Owners, Indigenous rangers, and zoos and aquaria. By combining perspectives from these entities with comprehensive literature review, we identified five guiding principles for conservation genetic and genomic research and explored the different elements of, and approaches to, collaboration. Our reflections suggest that there is a substantial overlap in research interests across the Australian conservation sector, and our findings show that collaboration is increasing. We discuss approaches to building collaborative partnerships, the reciprocal benefits of collaborating, and some remaining challenges associated with data generation, data collection, and cross-cultural considerations. We emphasise the need for long-term national resourcing for sample and data storage and consistency in collecting, generating and reporting genetic data. While informed by the Australian experience, our goal is to support researchers and practitioners to foster meaningful collaborations that achieve measurable management outcomes in conservation genetics and genomics, both in Australia and globally.

Integrating Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in Population-Based Administrative Data

Information regarding biological sex is collected for administrative and clinical purposes, and often is conflated with gender in clinical encounters as well as in population-based data studies. Sex is collected as either ‘male’ or ‘female’, adhering to the colonial notion of binary sex and gender identities. Meaningful information on sexual/romantic orientation is also absent from these datasets. Sex, gender, and sexual/romantic (SR) orientation are key aspects informing how people experience the world and how we interpret administrative data. SOGI-HE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity – Health Equity) will be the first 2SLGBTQIA+ dataset at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy by using a novel survey tool to collect information on gender identity, and SR orientation. The data from this survey will be linked into the Population Health Data Repository housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, enabling analyses that incorporate constructs of sex, gender, and SR orientation. These data will make visible the experiences of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community that have been historically absent from population-based data studies. Data equity and 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility within data play an important role in advancing the field and lays the groundwork for future data linkage projects. In this presentation we will discuss the development of SOGI-HE through community-based research principles and the implications it has on future 2SLGBTQIA+ research conducted in the province of Manitoba (Canada). Further, we will discuss the ethical implications associated with queer data sovereignty in a precarious political climate for 2SLGBTQIA+ people and their rights.
