CAA new report commissioned by Options for Sexual Health and the University of British Columbia highlights gaps in sexual health care for young people aged 15 to 29 in British Columbia. Despite recent improvements such as free contraceptives, expanded abortion access, and online STI screening tools like GetCheckedOnline, disparities persist in rural and underserved areas. The study found that young people face challenges accessing services due to limited availability, lack of knowledge about available resources, and distrust in online information. Researchers interviewed 91 young individuals and 47 healthcare providers across multiple regions, emphasizing the need for more inclusive, youth-centered approaches to sexual health care.
