The National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles 2010 ( Natsal 2010 )

1990年和2000年进行的两次英国国家性态度和生活方式调查（Natsal）是世界上规模最大的性行为研究。它们提供的数据已被广泛用于增进对英国性行为模式的了解，并有助于指导改善性健康教育和保健服务的政策。计划在2010年进行第三次Natsal研究，提供有关性态度和生活方式的最新措施，并扩大其范围。同样，参与者将从英国各地随机选择并被邀请参加。这将确保调查代表所有地区和各行各业的观点和生活方式。我们的目标是采访15000名年龄在16-74岁之间的男女。参与者将使用笔记本电脑来记录个人信息。调查将引入新的因素：年龄上限将高于以往的普查，为74岁；年轻人的样本将会增加，这样我们就能更好地了解那些最有可能从事危险行为的人。随机抽取年龄在16-44岁之间的参与者，要求他们提供尿液样本，匿名检测性传播感染，以了解感染在人群中的流行程度。所有年龄段的一些参与者将被要求提供唾液样本来测量激素水平。少数参与者将被要求进行更详细的定性访谈，以了解高？更详细地描述风险行为。我们将对这些数据进行分析，以便对不同时期的性态度和性生活方式进行比较，并更好地了解性生活方式与性健康之间的关系，以及健康的其他方面与性关系质量之间的关系。我们将利用这些发现来帮助指导有关服务和干预的政策，以改善英国的性健康。

The two British National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) carried out in 1990 and 2000, are the largest studies of sexual behaviour undertaken anywhere in the world. They have provided data that have been extensively used to improve understanding of patterns of sexual behaviour in Britain and helped to guide policy to improve sexual health education and health services. A third Natsal study is planned for 2010 to provide up to date measures of sexual attitudes and lifestyles and also extend its scope. Once again, participants will be randomly selected from across Britain and invited to take part. This will ensure that the survey represents views and lifestyles from all regions and from all walks of life. We aim to interview 15,000 men and women aged 16-74. Laptop computers will be used to allow participants to record personal information in privacy. New elements will be introduced to the survey: the upper age limit will be higher than in previous Natsal surveys at 74 years; the sample of younger adults will be increased so that we have a better understanding of those most likely to engage in risk-behaviours. A random sample of participants aged 16-44 will be asked to provide a urine sample to be tested anonymously for sexually transmitted infections to understand the prevalence of infection in the population. Some participants of all ages will be asked to provide a saliva sample to measure hormone levels. A small number of participants will be asked to undertake more detailed qualitative interviews to understand some aspects of high?risk behaviour in greater detail. We will analyse the data to provide comparisons over time in sexual attitudes and lifestyles, and to understand better the relationship between sexual lifestyle and sexual health, and between other aspects of health and quality of sexual relationships. We will use the findings to help to guide policy on services and interventions to improve sexual health in Britain.
