How has sexual and reproductive health in Britain been affected by the pandemic?
Findings from the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyle (Natsal)-COVID
Like many important aspects of health and wellbeing, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial response to COVID-19 involved a rapid contraction of SRH services, with many halted (e.g., asymptomatic STI testing) and only people with severest symptoms seen face-to-face. During the nationwide lockdowns, the British population were effectively banned from intimate contact with anyone outside their household. The Natsal-COVID study aims to provide high-quality data to assess how the pandemic and these measures impacted sexual and reproductive health.
This session will be chaired by Professor Kaye Wellings, Professor of Sexual & Reproductive Health, LSHTM.
