SMOOTH TALKING
HAIR, HAIR, HAIR

ARE YOU A WOMAN AGED 15-50?
WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION ON HAIR REMOVAL

Lenore Riddell (Nurse Practitioner, BC Women's Hospital & Member, WHRI) and Hannah Varto (Clinical Practice Leader & Family Practice Nurse Practitioner for Child & Youth Programs for VCH) are conducting research that is aimed towards enhancing our understanding of this relatively new phenomenon of widespread pubic hair removal from the women's perspectives.

They are conducting a widespread survey of women ages 15 to 50 in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The ultimate goal of this research will be to develop best practice guidelines for health care professionals about healthy hair removal (or not) for women.
