Dear Colleagues,

I hope you enjoyed a nice long weekend.

I'm writing with a recruitment update, and hope you can assist in sharing
this with your networks.

To date in CHIWOS <http://www.chiwos.ca/home/?lang=en>, we have enrolled
and surveyed over 320 (of our target 350) women living with HIV across BC
(and over 1,250 nationally). Attached you'll find a 1-page BC recruitment
summary, with stats broken down by region and priority populations which
may interest you / your organization.

We'd like to recruit *at least another 30 participants* by March *including 17
in the Interior*, and 3-6 in all other regions, and we strongly encourage
participation from young women (under 30), trans women, African Caribbean
and Black Canadian women, and women in rural communities to ensure their
priorities are represented.

Importantly, I say 'at least another 30' as we'd like to over-recruit
participants to account for any loss-to-follow-up that may happen over
time. As such, there is *no strict enrolment cap*, and *all women who may
be interested are welcome* to participate. The incentive is $50/survey.

We would really appreciate it if you could *please take a moment to share
this email and our poster (attached)* with any HIV-positive women you may
know as well as doctors, nurses, outreach workers, and other allies who
support them. Interested participants can phone me at 1-855-506-8615
<callto:1-855-506-8615> (press 1), or if they agree, you can phone me to
provide their contact and I will happily follow-up with them.

As we wrap up enrolment and move forward, we will be focusing on applying
for renewal funding (in March), rolling out our 18-month follow-up survey
(in April), and producing and sharing important community-driven research
findings with communities towards supporting the health, well-being and
care of women living with HIV in Canada. We really look forward to these
next steps, and our continued collaboration.

This is such an important study, and with your help, we are reaching so
many women who might not otherwise participate in or benefit from
meaningful HIV research.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Best,
Allie
