Dear colleagues,
It has been more than a year now that we have started the research entitled: Internet-based health promotion programs for sexual minorities in Canada: A study of the components, objectives and future developments. The study will end soon and this is the last opportunity for your organization to participate to the online survey.
The objective of this research is to provide a profile of Internet-based health promotion programs for sexual minorities in Canada. We have focused more specifically on identifying 1) the different components of the websites and other Internet activities developed by a range of organizations, 2) the targeted LGBT populations, 3) the health topics that are addressed, and 4) the goals of these activities.
Your participation to this study is very important in order to better evaluate your needs when developing a web site or other Internet activities to address sexual minorities’ health issues.
The document discussing some of the preliminary results can be found here: http://www.svr.uqam.ca/EN/actualites.asp

We invite you to join all LGBT organizations who are contributing to reach the objectives of this study and provide useful data for all of those promoting health in these communities with the help of the Internet.
Cordially,
Jean Dumas, research assistant for Joseph J. Lévy, principal investigator
