Sexual Health Assessment of Practices and Experiences (SHAPE)
Overview
The Sexual Health Assessment of Practices and Experiences (SHAPE) questionnaire includes a set of priority questions related to sexual practices, behaviours and health-related outcomes that are relevant and comprehensible to the general population. The questionnaire is a combination of interviewer-administered and self-administered modules, intended to be used across diverse global contexts, with the goal of improving the ability of researchers to collect and compare relevant data on sexual practices and sexual health-related outcomes across countries. The questionnaire is preceded by information on its development, content (including intended use, population, and modality), and suggestions on how to adapt and implement it. This resource does not provide guidance on sampling or data analysis.
