This survey is part of a study to better understand the interests, motivations, and expectations of survivors of female genital cutting (FGC) in electing to undergo clitoral reconstructive surgery (CRS) in Canada. The aims of the research are the following:
- To develop a greater understanding of survivors’ interests, motivations, and/or expectations in electing to undergo clitoral reconstructive surgery
- To identify how well a survivor’s surgical outcomes meet their initial expectations
- To improve the referral process for survivors who wish to undergo clitoral reconstructive surgery
- To highlight the importance of quality care for survivors in Canada
This survey is open to survivors who have undergone clitoral reconstructive surgery (CRS), survivors who have not yet undergone the procedure but are interested in doing so, and survivors who have chosen not to undergo CRS. The survey is split into several sections: demographics, interest in CRS, and experience with CRS. The questions are asked in multiple choice format, some ranking, and a few open-ended questions. The estimated time to complete the survey is about 10 minutes.
The survey will be open until May 2024. All responses will be strictly confidential.
