Canada	Recommended Reading(s)

McGregor, M. J., Le, G., Marion, S. A., & Wiebe, E. (1999). Examination for sexual assault: Is the documentation of physical injury associated with the laying of charges? A retrospective cohort study. Canadian Medical Association Journal, 160(11), 1565-1574. Retrieved July 22, 2002, from ProQuest database. The study was a retrospective cohort analysis of all cases of sexual assault seen in 1992 by the BC Women's Sexual Assault Service for which there was police involvement and for which a medicolegal report and information about the legal outcome were available. Ethics approval for the study was obtained from the University of British Columbia Clinical Research Ethics Board and from the BC Women's Research Review Committee. The BC Women's Sexual Assault Service is operated by the BC Women's Health Centre (part of the Children and Women's Health Centre of BC) in partnership with the Vancouver General Hospital Emergency Department. It is a team of female family physicians and nurses based in the Emergency Department of the Vancouver General Hospital, who provide a 24-hour on-call service for adult and adolescent victims of sexual assault. In most cases of sexual assault for which there is police involvement, the victim is taken to the Sexual Assault Service for examination and treatment. The objectives of the service are to treat the patient for the effects of the assault, to collect evidence to give to police in cases where the victim wants to report the assault and to provide limited immediate and follow-up counselling. Over the past 5 years the service has made considerable efforts to improve physicians' ability to detect forensic evidence; these efforts have included the purchase of a colposcope to detect the presence of genital trauma not visible to the naked eye.
