Increasing attacks on reproductive justice, trans, and 2S/ LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in Canada and globally underscore the urgent need to elevate diverse youth voices and document the socio-structural barriers and facilitators to youth-centred, equitable sexual and reproductive health care in Canada.

At the same time, a number of recent landmark policy changes in Canada (e.g. free contraception; Mifegymiso) provide a critical window of opportunity to evaluate access and uptake of evolving sexual health care provisions in Canada.

Comparative research across diverse settings will afford opportunities to examine patient user (youth) perspectives and disentangle evolving policy implementation to accessing equitable sexual health, including the intended and unintended impacts.
