After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Define binary and non-binary thinking.
  2. Identify four reasons why it is important to ask non-binary questions in the sexual health interview.
  3. List ways to revise the sexual health interview based on the CDC "5Ps.”

Program Abstract:
Sexual health providers and researchers want to understand the epidemiology, prevention, and best interventions to promote sexual health. The purpose of this presentation is to reconsider how we perform the sexual health interview, to take into consideration non-binary questions and answers to benefit all of our patients. This presentation suggests new ways to ask questions about “partners” and “practices” that will be all inclusive to enhance quality of care and research.
