Community-Based Cohorts & Social/Policy Research

Drive for Change (DFC)

African, Caribbean and Black communities living with HIV in Canada are disproportionately affected by racism, discrimination and HIV stigma. The Drive for Change (DFC) project is guided by a community-based Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to produce findings that can support the community to take action and affect change.

AMPLIFY Project

AMPLIFY is a community-based participatory action research study that draws upon quantitative, qualitative, Indigenous and art-based methods. The project name “AMPLIFY” represents our overarching goal to use research as a tool to amplify and uplift Indigenous women, Two-Spirit and gender diverse voices that are not often heard in this type of work.

An Evaluation of Sex Workers Health Access (AESHA)

AESHA is a community-based research project with a community-based prospective cohort that involves semi-annual questionnaires and sexual health research visits with our community-based staff. It also documents the lived-experiences of sex workers of all genders, and third parties who provide services to sex workers.

Food & Beverage Sector Worker Study (FABS)

FABS is a mixed-method study that aims to offer timely and critical scientific evidence on the effect of COVID-19 public health policies on the health and safety of workers in the food and beverage industry in British Columbia. The project hopes to shed light on how public health responses have created and exacerbated gendered and racialized bullying, harassment and violence against workers.

REAFFIRM Collaborative

An interdisciplinary team committed to promoting 2S/LGBTQ+ health equity using a broad range of approaches, including epidemiology, qualitative research and mixed methods to explore factors contributing to health inequities and to identify strategies for improving health among 2S/LGBTQ+ populations.

Sexual Health & HIV/AIDS: Longitudinal Women’s Needs Assessment (SHAWNA)

Building on ongoing partnerships and community-based research with women living with HIV as well as extensive consultation with community, clinical and policy experts, SHAWNA follows over 350 cis and trans women living with HIV in Metro Vancouver through semi-annual visits.
