Digital literacy (or digital health literacy) has been framed as a necessity for sexual and reproductive health consumers who engage with healthcare via digital platforms – from AI chatbots to social media platforms to online-only telehealth clinics to menstrual trackers. But these terms are often vaguely defined within sexual and reproductive health research. 

Despite reports of a ‘widening gap’ between the rapid introduction of data-driven digital technologies and practitioner skills and knowledge, the question of what digital and data literacy (or capability) looks like for current sexual and reproductive health practitioners remains under-addressed. 

This report presents findings from the Digital and Data Capabilities for Sexual and Reproductive Health (2022-2026) project which addresses these complex and interconnected challenges via participatory co-design methods. The report focuses on the development and validation of a central knowledge translation resource: the Digital and Data Capabilities for Sexual and Reproductive Health (DDCRH) research project.
