The executive summary of the six reports states that looking at such a large representative sample of the British population allowed the researchers to produce estimates on patterns of sexual behaviour, attitudes, health, and wellbeing across the population. Findings from the six topics being surveyed are summarised below.
This large survey provides useful estimates of sexual behaviours and attitudes among Britons aged 16 to 74 years. As the survey only included people in this age range, the findings and estimates cannot be generalised to people younger or older than this.
As this is the third survey of its kind, findings can be compared to previous years and used to track trends. This could be useful for policy makers and for people making decisions about sexual health interventions for the population.
