Young queer women’s use of the internet and digital technology for sexual health information seeking (2016)
We conducted a community-based research project to understand more about young queer women’s needs and experiences with finding sexual health information through the Internet and other types of digital technology.
We conducted a community-based research project to understand more about young queer women’s needs and experiences with finding sexual health information through the Internet and other types of digital technology. This included three focus groups with a total of 18 queer women between the ages of 16-29. We asked questions about what types of technology they used, what sexual health information they looked for online, their positive and negative experiences with online sexual health information seeking, and their suggestions for change. This project was undertaken in partnership with the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at University of Toronto and the Re:searching for LGBTQ Health team at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
