Canadian Sexual Health Survey Study

Principal Investigators: Dr. Wendy Norman, Dr. Stirling Bryan

Primary Contact: Eva McMillan, Research Coordinator, 604-875-2424 x 4871, eva.mcmillan@ubc.ca

About the study: This study developed and validated the Canadian Sexual Health Survey (CSHS) that aimed to collect data on sexual and reproductive health among women aged 14-49 years throughout BC. The survey was then administered door-to door by trained health professional surveyors, who finished 1677 surveys in total, within 21 Local Health Authorities, across all five Regional Health Authorities.

Why is this research important? Data collected through the Canadian Sexual Health Survey will be used to develop Canada’s first contraception Cost-effectiveness Model.  This model will be used to create decision-making tools capable of supporting evidence-informed policies for optimal health system strategies, such as the potential for universal subsidy of contraception, in BC and for adaptation to other Canadian provinces, territories and federal health jurisdictions.

Study status: Survey administration and data collection were completed in Fall 2015. The research team is cleaning the survey data and will conduct data analysis to help build the cost-effectiveness model and answer research questions.

Co-Investigators: Drs. Perry Kendall, Rollin Brant, Janusz Kaczorowski, Steven Shechter, Saied Samiedaluie, Gina Ogilvie, Jean Shoveller, and Sheila Dunn.
