Towards Better Sexual Health: a Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles of Young People in Northern Ireland, 2000-2002

<i>Towards Better Sexual Health</i> was a three-year mixed methods study of sexual attitudes and lifestyles of 14-25-year-old young people in Northern Ireland. The study was undertaken jointly by the University of Ulster and the Family Planning Association (Northern Ireland) (fpaNI) from 2000-2002. The study consisted of a large scale self-administered survey, based on an opportunistic sample, which was completed by 1,013 respondents. Within the study, 71 focus group discussions and 15 one-to-one in-depth interviews were also conducted. Users should note that the UKDA collection contains the quantitative survey only.<br> <br> The study was initiated by fpaNI due to the failure to include Northern Ireland in the <i>National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (NATSAL)</i> which covers Great Britain only (available from the UKDA under GN 33353).<br>
