PHAC Survey of STBBI service providers on the impact of COVID-19 in Canada

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) wants to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to and delivery of services to prevent and treat sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) including harm reduction services.

If your organization directly provides STBBI prevention, testing, treatment services, or harm reduction services in Canada, please take 10-15 minutes to complete this online survey to help PHAC better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community-based organizations’ and other service providers’ ability to deliver these services.

Input from STBBI service providers is essential to providing reliable information on the impact that COVID-19 has had on these services. The survey is voluntary. No directly identifying personal or organizational information is asked. The information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.

The information collected, including changes in the delivery of STBBI-related services and the use of innovative practices to reach key populations, will provide context to better interpret STBBI trends and will be used to inform policy and programs that aim to address the unintended consequences of COVID-19 in Canada.

The survey can be accessed by following the link: https://ca1se.voxco.com/SE/135/COVID_SP/

We encourage you to participate in the survey and share this survey link with other service providers to participate.

  • The survey will be available until December 7, 2020.
