MAX Ottawa Community Health Survey 2023

Pour remplir ce sondage en français: maxottawa.ca/sondage2023

MAX Ottawa is working with community partners to shape the health and social services available for 2-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, and queer people (which we’ll call “queer and trans” in this survey) in the national capital region. This survey and your answers are a part of the process to help guide that work.

Some of the questions may be personal and/or sensitive to you and you will always have the option of not responding. Your answers will remain strictly confidential and anonymous and we will not ask for any personally identifiable information.

The survey should take a few minutes to complete.
Please share a bit about yourself. This will help us understand how to use the rest of your answers in shaping health services for our community.

Trans Health Ottawa
GayZone is a community partnership offering sexual health testing and treatment, social programming, and health programming to queer and trans men. In 2020, the sexual health testing was moved into the Ottawa Public Health sexual health clinic. We are looking to bring these services back out into the community, but want to make sure it meets our community’s current needs.
