Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, or other sexual orientations and gender identities (2SLGBTQI+) youth face multiple social and structural disparities and barriers that contribute to a sense of mistrust in the provision of healthcare services, including oral health. Cannabis use is also high among 2SLGBTQI+ individuals; however, unknowns exist regarding recreational use and its impact on oral health. Our research aims to explore the intersectionality of 2SLGBTQI+ youth, oral health, and cannabis consumption. METHODS: This qualitative study, guided by community-based participatory research and interpretative phenomenological approaches, will recruit consenting 2SLGBTQI+ youth, aged 19 and older, accessing services at Youth Opportunities Unlimited in London, Canada. Approximately 25 to 30 participants will be recruited to complete a one-on-one in-depth interview or focus group to collect information on their perception about the relationships between cannabis use and oral health. DISCUSSION: Recognizing the self-perceived pathways through which cannabis impacts oral health will prompt the development of theories, raise awareness, and support advocacy efforts for and by 2SLGBTQI+ youth, while also providing valuable insights for the community and healthcare providers at large.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
