We surveyed 955 youth (aged 16-24) not born in Canada about their sexual health education needs and experiences. Newcomer youth face barriers to accessing services and want evidence-based, confidential sexual health information that helps them navigate the healthcare system. Here are some key findings from our online survey.

    SIECCAN would like to acknowledge the working group who helped us to develop the sexual health information sheets for disabled youth. The working group consisted of individuals with diverse lived experiences and professional expertise, including disabled people, researchers, community organization representatives, educators, and health service providers. Working group members were consulted at every step of the project and were integral in determining what content to include and how to present the information to best meet the needs of both service providers working in this area and the disabled youth that service providers support.
