Navigating Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare in BC: Perspectives of Im/migrant Youth

Im/migrant populations, particularly youth, experience higher rates of unmet sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. In the absence of culturally appropriate and accessible SRH care, they may face an increased risk of harm when engaging in normal, healthy sexual behaviours for their age. We hope to describe and analyze the individual, sociocultural, economic and immigration specific factors that influence the access of SRH among im/migrant youth through the collection of qualitative data. Understanding the specific needs of the im/migrant youth will allow us to develop strategies to address these gaps, inform policies and optimize SRH programs.
