About Allison
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions on birth control including how they work, the pros and cons of different methods, why you might choose one over the other, how to correct mistakes you may have made in using the device and more. As well, I can help with general knowledge on STIs, symptoms, incubation, transmission, and treatment.

Experience
I have experience in birth control and sexual health education counselling since 2003. I have worked with two affiliates of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and have been extensively trained by them. As well, I have a Masters in Applied Science (Sexual Health).
