ALT Join us by participating in a nationwide study to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected access to reproductive health care and services for people with disabilities. You will receive a gift card to thank you for your time.

ALT Who can participate? You may be eligible if you 1) Identify or may be identified as having a disability, 2) Identify as a woman, trans, or non-binary person, 3) Are 18 years or older and 4) Live and receive health care in Canada. Disability comprises a range of disabilities, including those who self-identify as disabled and/or d/Deaf. This definition is inclusive of those who have yet to receive an official diagnosis. We have chosen to be as inclusive as possible, consistent with our commitment to include those with disabilities who remain invisible and uncounted.

ALT How will it work? You can do a 20-minute survey and/or a 1-hour interview about the reproductive health services you received since the beginning of the pandemic. The survey can be completed by you online, by phone or Zoom with a researcher at a time that works for you. The interview can also be done by phone or Zoom. If you need any supports or accommodations to participate, please let us know. You will receive a $15 gift card for the survey and a $40 gift card for the interview.

ALT What is the study about? We want to know whether the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the reproductive health, access to reproductive health services, and mental health of people with disabilities in Canada. We will use the evidence to ensure an accessible and inclusive approach to reproductive health during and beyond the pandemic. Reproductive health includes experiences related to contraception, abortion, sexually transmitted infections, cervical cancer screening, violence, pregnancy, postpartum health, and the health of your children.
