Co-creating policies and guidelines for STBBI care in correctional centres

Learning Outcomes

The webinar is the first of a series that will focus on corrections as a public health setting for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) testing and care. It will explore evidence for STBBI interventions in corrections, and describe the results of the You Matter Project, in which people who are incarcerated, corrections officers, health care providers, researchers, and representatives from community organizations co-created policies and guidelines for STBBI care in BC Provincial Correctional Centres. Participants will learn about:

• The importance of addressing STBBIs in correctional settings
• Current evidence for models of care and interventions to enhance STBBI testing and linkage to care in prisons
• You Matter Project rationale and methodology
