๐ŸŸข Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SHAReClinic, a national, virtual Sexual Health and Rehabilitation eClinic designed to support prostate cancer patients and their partners. Specifically, this study aims to assess SHAReClinic's impact on improving sexual function, satisfaction, and relational intimacy after treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate SHAReClinic's effectiveness across participating sites and determine its role in supporting long-term sexual health and well-being. As part of usual care, newly enrolled SHAReClinic patients will receive guided education modules and access to sexual health counselling at key recovery milestones. SHAReClinic seeks to expand access to sexual health care for prostate cancer patients across Canada by providing evidence-based, virtual sexual rehabilitation. Findings from this study will inform best practices in survivorship care and contribute to the development of a national standard for oncology sexual health interventions.
