The interview will take place at Université de Sherbrooke (Longueuil), Université Laval (Quebec City), Université du Québec à Montréal (Montreal), or one of the research project’s partner organizations.
It’s also now possible for us to conduct interviews remotely as needed, in order to reach people across various regions of Quebec and adapt to evolving health measures in the context of the pandemic.
The research project has been approved on August 22nd, 2019, by the research ethics committee of the CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS.
Advisory Committee
An advisory committee has been created to direct the principal stages of the research and to help develop the guidelines.
Who sits on the committee?
Where, when and how often does the committee meet?
How can I get involved?
Different stakeholders, including peer researchers, practitioners and managers of health, social and community service settings, with experiential or professional knowledge of addiction or gender identity issues.
Members attend two or three meetings per year (2019-2022), each three hours long, either in person (Université de Sherbrooke, Longueuil campus) or by videoconference. The gatherings are friendly, lively affairs where everyone is encouraged to express their point of view on the stages of the research.
If you are interested in joining the Advisory Committee – Quebec – for the Gender-ARP project, contact us by telephone or email to find out more about how to go about it.
Consensus development process
Drawing on the results of the research, in 2021, a consensus development process will be used to bring together a group of experiential and professional experts situated in Quebec (Canada), Belgium and France. These experts will take part in a process of exchange and deliberation aimed at reaching a consensus on the guidelines that should be applied regarding long-term, integrated, gender-sensitive services offered to people who use alcohol or drugs.
