I-SHARE is a cross-sectional, multi-country study on sexual and reproductive health well-being in the time of the COVID-19 crisis. The survey instrument is online-based, administered by local organizations in participating countries (34 countries to date), and designed to assess the impact of social distancing measures on sexual risk behaviors, intimate partner violence, and access to essential reproductive health services. The data collected from the survey are divided into the following sections: socio-demographics, compliance with social-distancing measures, couple and family relationships, sexual behavior, access to contraceptives, access to reproductive health services, abortion, sexual and gender-based violence, female genital mutation/cutting and early/forced marriage (optional), HIV/STI, mental health (optional), and nutrition (optional). The survey is for individuals 18 years or older, with some sections specifically for women. Population: Adults Only Length: 13 sections, 152 questions Time to Complete: 15-20 minutes Mode of Administration: Online (e.g., computer-assisted interview) Administered by: Self Administered Language(s): English, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Latvian, Russian, German, Spanish, Bahasa Melayu, Czech, Danish, French, Khmer, Swedish (Text)

Source: Academic Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Policy [Ghent University] (ANSER). Published: 6/2020. COVID-19 may have a profound impact on sexual behaviors, reproductive health, and social life across the world. Shelter-in-place regulations that have extended across the globe may influence condomless sex, exacerbate intimate partner violence, and reduce access to essential reproductive health services. Population-representative research is challenging during shelter-in-place, leaving major gaps in our understanding of sexual and reproductive health during COVID-19. This International Sexual Health And REproductive (I-SHARE) study protocol manuscript describes a common plan for online national surveys and global comparative analyses. Methods: The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to better understand sexual and reproductive health in selected countries during COVID-19 and facilitate multi-national comparisons. Participants will be recruited in selected countries through an online survey. The survey link will be disseminated through local, regional, and national networks. In each country, a lead organization will be responsible for organizing ethical review, translation, and survey administration. The consortium network provides support for national studies, coordination, and multi-national comparison. We will use multi-level modeling to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and condomless sex, gender-based violence, access to reproductive health services, HIV testing, and other key items. This study protocol defines primary outcomes, pre-specified subanalyses, and analysis plans. The I-SHARE study examines sexual and reproductive health at the national and global level. We will use multi-level modeling to examine country-level variables associated with outcomes of interest. This will provide a foundation for subsequent online multi-country comparison using more robust sampling methodologies. Population: Adults Only Language(s): English (PDF)
