We’ve been quiet for a while because we’ve been looking at the first set of interviews. There’s lots of really useful information and interesting stories, so thanks again if you took part. We’re now doing the second interviews with people who did the one-on-one interviews last year. We’ve almost finished the interviews in London and we’re going back to the south-west next week.
If you saw or heard this story on the news in the last couple of days, you might be interested in this article which points out why the stories have been misleading.
We’ve finished our first round of interviews and group discussions so thanks to all of you for taking part. We’re looking forward to seeing some of you again for your second interviews this winter.
We’ve been speaking to young people across England, and one thing we’ve found is that not everyone agrees on what counts as ‘having sex‘. If you’ve ever wondered what different people mean when they say they’ve ‘had sex’, you might be interested in this article from the Scarleteen website.

The study has only just started and at the moment we are looking for young people aged 16-17 to take part. If you would like to take part, or know someone who would, please email us:
