Drivers of ethnic disparities in sexual health in the UK

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Ethnic and racial disparities in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other sexual health outcomes in the UK are well recognised, but the drivers of these disparities are not fully understood. In The Lancet Public Health, Sonali Wayal and colleagues1 use data from the British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3) to explore the extent to which these disparities can be explained by ethnic variations in established risk factors such as socioeconomic status, substance use, depression, and sexual behaviours, and the extent to which disparities persist after adjusting for these factors.
