Sexual Assault Among University Students in Canada: A Minority Stress and Intersectional Perspective
Eligibility: At least 18 years of age and a current OR former student at a Canadian post-secondary institution (i.e., university/college)
This study investigates the experiences of sexual assault in university students, especially in situations that involve the consumption of alcohol/substances. We are interested in stress experienced in such incidents and how these connect to various identities that students may possess (e.g., sexual & racial identities).
Participation requires answering some demographic questions on the survey platform Qualtrics. You will then be asked to complete questionnaires assessing sexual assault exposure, alcohol use, drug use, overall physical and mental health, and experiences with minority stress. This study will take approximately 30 minutes of your time.

Exploring Partnered Sex Toy Usage Among Men
Eligibility: Males (cisgender men) at least 16 years of age who have had at least one (1) female (cisgender women) sexual partner
This study examines sex toy usage among males with female sexual partners. We know that a wide range of values and opinions contribute to men’s reasons for and against sex toy usage, and your participation will help us understand how these values and opinions shape behaviour.
​
Participation requires answering some questions about yourself (e.g., questions such as your age, sexual orientation, and relationship status) on the survey platform Qualtrics. You will then be asked to answer some questions regarding specific types of sex toys, about how you feel about your sexual ability and your genitals, and about your values associated with masculinity and attitudes toward women. This study will take approximately 20 minutes of your time. NOTE: You do NOT need to be a sex toy user to participate in this study.
Exploring Feelings and Beliefs About Sexlessness and Sexual Activity
Eligibility: Open to anyone at least 16 years old
We are recruiting for a study examining people’s feelings about their sex lives and social beliefs. We know there is a wide range of values and opinions contributing to reasons why people do, and do not, engage in sexual activity, and your participation will help us understand how these values and opinions shape behaviour.
If you participate in this study, you will first answer some questions about yourself (i.e., demographic questions) on the survey platform Qualtrics. You will then be asked to answer questions regarding your personal beliefs about sex and sexuality, satisfaction with your sex life, and social beliefs around sex and sexuality. This study will take approximately 30 minutes of time.
