New Resources
SexualityandU.ca: Check the Research
Topical sexual health articles for teen and young adult audiences.
Beginning in January, 2010, SIECCAN’s Check the Research articles have been a monthly feature on SexualityandU.ca (www.sexualityandu.ca), the award-winning website administered by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist of Canada (SOGC).

SIECCAN designed Check the Research as a resource to engage young adult readers on topical sexual health issues and also as a potentially useful teaching resource for sexual health educators, public health professionals and parents. Two years on, there is now an archive of 24 Check the Research pdfs available on SexualityandU.ca. To view the pdfs, please visit www.sexualityandu.ca and click on the Check the Research icon.
