Sex and Gender-Informed Approaches to Understanding Substance Use During COVID-19

Matters of sex and gender are very important when it comes to examining contexts of substance using behaviours. This webinar will seek to explore physiological differences, psychological and societal factors associated with sex, gender and substance use. A greater understanding of these factors can better influence prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and policy initiatives. This session will also consider how these factors may influence substance using behaviours and access to supports during the pandemic.
