This privacy policy governs your use of the TrueNTH Sexual Recovery intervention that was developed by experts in the field, created by the Center for Health Communications Research at the University of Michigan, and funded by the Movember Foundation.

The intervention is an online interactive, tailor intervention that will address the needs of men and partners interested in sexual recovery after prostate cancer. Although sexual health intervention research in prostate cancer has been developing, it has focused exclusively on function and not sufficiently on outcomes that are feasible and meaningful to survivors. This intervention was designed to include peer support as well as education for patients and partners so they can engage comfortably in discussions about sexual problems and solutions. It includes:

• Pre-treatment education about the side-effects of prostate cancer treatment and rehabilitation
• Preparation for the resumption of sexual activity – penile rehabilitation for erectile dysfunction, pelvic floor rehabilitation for urinary incontinence, attending to vaginal health
• Beginning to recover sexual intimacy as a couple – acknowledgment of sexual changes, grief work, communication, working together as a team
• Integrating sex into life’s routine – identifying and developing strategies overcoming barriers to sexual recovery, making time for regular sexual activity
• Effective sexuality after prostate cancer – confidence in our bodies, use of sexual aids and commitment to regular activity
• How to speak to medical providers about sexual problems
