Australian Studies of Health and Relationships, 2001-2002

The Australian Study of Health and Relationships (ASHR) focuses on numerous aspects of sexual and reproductive health in the Australian population. The primary goal of the study is to describe the ways in which these aspects are associated with a range of sociodemographic factors. Topics covered include: demographics, sexual identity, history and practices, contraception and condom use, sex work, health, sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis history, knowledge and attitudes related to sexuality, and blood-borne virus risk behaviours. Background variables include year of birth, country of birth, year first arrived in Australia, living arrangements, number of children, age when first got married and number of times married. The long format survey questions were asked of a subset (4,184 men) of the entire sample (10,173 men short format). The long format survey contained all the short format questions plus some additional questions.The short format survey questions were asked of the entire sample (9,134 women).
