Barriers and Facilitators to Accessing Sexual Health Care For People With Severe Mental Illness in England | C4C

  • Applicant: Margaret Heslin
  • Project ID: 23-065

People with SMI have a range of unmet sexual health needs, including a lack of knowledge around staying healthy sexually, increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, and difficulty accessing contraception, but are LESS likely to engage with sexual health services and LESS likely to engage in a timely fashion. We will conduct one-to-one interviews with 30 people with SMI about their experiences of accessing and using sexual health services.
