Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Sociology of Health

Background:

  • LGBTQ health is a recognized subcategory in Australian public health.
  • Government strategies for LGBTQ health have developed over decades due to advocacy.
  • Most Australian states and territories have implemented specific LGBTQ health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze Australian state and territory LGBTQ health strategies published between 2019 and 2022.
  • To examine the historiographies, data collection commitments, and constitution of LGBTQ people within these strategies.
  • To understand how LGBTQ health functions as a project of biocitizenship within public health.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of Australian state and territory LGBTQ health strategies (2019-2022).
  • Examination of historiographical narratives within the strategies.
  • Analysis of commitments to epidemiological data collection.
  • Discourse analysis of how LGBTQ individuals are framed within public health.

Main Results:

  • LGBTQ health strategies position LGBTQ health as a project of biocitizenship.
  • These strategies enable public recognition and attention from health systems.
  • The focus narrows to health issues deemed legible and governable within the health system.
  • Historiographies and data collection methods vary across strategies.

Conclusions:

  • LGBTQ health strategies, while increasing visibility, may limit the scope of health concerns addressed.
  • Biocitizenship framework shapes what aspects of LGBTQ health are recognized and acted upon.
  • Further research is needed to explore the implications of this narrowed focus on health equity.
