Sex and Gender

You are invited to participate in a study titled Championing the use of Digital Research Infrastructure amongst nursing researchers in Canada: Sex-Gender Digital Health Equity Research Hub proof of concept and knowledge dissemination to national nursing associations that is being conducted by Kelly Davison. In this project, we are developing the gender, sex and sexual orientation (GSSO) Digital Health Hub. Why? This work has been initiated by researchers from the University of Victoria Digital Health Equity Group in response to Action 7 of the ... to Modernize Gender, Sex and Sexual Orientation Practices in Canadian Electronic Health Records (2021). Kelly Davison, RN, CTSS is leading the project. Professor Karen Courtney, PhD, is supervising the research component. Who can participate? This is a collaborative project aimed at advancing equity-oriented digital health systems and standards and will require diverse voices. We particularly encourage participation from equity-deserving groups such as Indigenous Peoples, 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, and women, in addition to digital health standards experts, researchers, allies, and healthcare providers. What can I expect? You are invited to a series of three 55-minute community dialogue/Hub development sessions held at 12 PT/3 ET on March 12th, 14th and 17th, 2025 with members of the GSSO standards community. You may attend one, two or all three of the sessions. During these sessions, you will help co-develop the GSSO Digital Health Hub while learning about open science tools and resources, open tooling, and Digital Research Alliance of Canada Digital Research Infrastructure. Honouraria will not be provided. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help create a more inclusive and equitable digital health ecosystem. I look forward to the possibility of working with you on this important initiative.
