What are diverse teens in Toronto, Ontario, Canada saying about HIV, sexual health, and the services they want?

The Toronto Teen Survey (TTS) is a community-based research project that has gathered information from youth on assets, gaps, and barriers that currently exist in sexual health education and services.

Planned Parenthood Toronto sponsored the Toronto Teen Survey in partnership with York University, University of Toronto (New College), and Wilfrid Laurier University. Toronto Public Health was a collaborator.

This website was developed by a team of faculty and graduate students in the Toronto area devoted to researching the issues of gender and youth in relation to HIV prevention. Working on a number of different projects through participatory approaches, this team seeks to develop gender-based analyses of HIV/AIDS that can be used in prevention programs with youth.
