| Sex Now: Do it Again | Contributed by andrewb on Monday, September 12 @ 15:23:46 PDT (770 reads)
Topic Gay Men
| Trussler, T., Community-Based Research Centre (2005).
The Sex Now Survey is a periodic survey of gay men’s sexual health. Sex Now works collaboratively with organizations in British Columbia who are committed to providing sexual health resources to gay men. Data from the Sex Now survey inform policy and programs that affect the health of gay men. Survey findings are also meant to keep gay men in BC current on sexual health.
Sex Now 2004 surveyed 2800 gay men in BC during Pride events in Kelowna, Nanaimo, Nelson, Prince George, Victoria and Vancouver. The "street report" of the 2004 Sex Now survey describes the main findings of our probe into increasing HIV infections among gay men in BC. While we found no increase in risk between 2002 and 2004, the report describes how many men feel pressured for unprotected casual sex in today's environment.

Topic Program Evaluation
| Prevention Revived: Evaluating the Assumptions Campaign
by Terry Trussler and Rick Marchand
Community Based Research Centre, Vancouver
April 2005
In this evaluation report we describe what happened when AIDS Vancouver and its partners in six Canadian cities engaged the adaptation, development and deployment of the Assumptions campaign. The Community Based Research Centre, under the direction of the authors, undertook a comprehensive study of the initiative including formative, process and outcome evaluations based on recent thinking about evaluation research for health programs. By all accounts the Assumptions campaign played out very successfully in Canada. We will demonstrate how we know, through empirical evidence collected during the campaign’s deployment and from gay men themselves on the streets of cities nation-wide.
