The book consists of twelve articles written mainly by Social Work professionals engaged in various types of academic research on LGBT populations throughout the United States. It begins with an overview of the less than fifty-year history of social science research on LGBT populations and the even shorter history of LGBT research in social services (less than five years). The entire collection informs readers about why methodological research on LGBT populations in social services is imperative. In order to support innovative methodological approaches that create viable services to the LGBT community, it advocates for future research that is more empirically sound, conceptually complex, and that includes geographically and ethnically diverse samples of youths and adults. The main purpose of this collection is to examine current themes in the research on LGBT populations by looking at a variety of different methodological approaches and research experiences. In doing so, it also encourages the further continuation of this critical and analytical research on marginalized LGBT populations. Represented within this collection is a variety of different perspectives, theoretical frameworks and practices.

In Canada, and globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has added a new stratum to the debate concerning the root causes of global and racial health inequities and disparities. Individuals who exist as targets of systemic inequities are not only more susceptible to contracting COVID-19, but they are also more likely to bear the greatest extent of the subsequent economic pandemic. Therefore, data collection that speci cally focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on the lives and health of African/Black communities nationally and globally is needed to develop intersectional, culturally-relative, anti-racist/anti-oppression, empowermentcentered interventions and social policies to increase more e cient ways to support heterogeneous African/Black communities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this review is to investigate the impact and management of COVID-19 on African/Black individuals and communities in Canada and globally and understand how anti-black racism and intersectional violence impact the health of African/Black communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and analysis: A systematic search of published literature of quantitative and qualitative studies published on COVID-19 in Canada and globally will be conducted in Ovid Medline, Ovid EMBASE, EBSCO

The article addresses the limitations in predominant approaches to counselling and psychotherapy and presents anti-oppression psychotherapy (AOP) as a model that integrates an anti-colonial, intersectional perspective. This article provides an overview of the context from which AOP emerges, along with foundational definitions, and a detailed explanation of the principles of the model.

Industry sponsorship of research, however, is associated with research agendas, outcomes, and conclusions that are favourable to the sponsor. The legalization of cannabis in Canada provides a useful case study to understand the nature and extent of the nascent cannabis industry’s involvement in the production of scientific evidence as well as broader impacts on equity-oriented research agendas. We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, meta-research study to describe the characteristics of research that reports funding from, or author conflicts of interest with, Canadian cannabis companies. From May to August 2021, we sampled licensed, prominent Canadian cannabis companies, identified their subsidiaries, and searched each company name in the PubMed conflict of interest statement search interface. Authors of included articles disclosed research support from, or conflicts of in...
