This chapter reviews some issues in the sexual health of Canadian women in adolescence and later life. The focus is on behaviour, knowledge and needs, and includes a review of available indicators of their sexual health. The interpretation and limitations of these indicators are also discussed and policy issues addressed where specific questions need to be answered. The most recent national data on the sexual health and behaviour of Canadians is the optional sexual behaviour content from the first cycle (1.1) of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) 2000-2001.
