Dr Dave Lee - Sex and intimacy in later life, challenges for research & practice
Presentation overview:
This presentation will give an overview of the extensive data collected on sex and intimacy in later life from the ongoing English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). How these data are now being used as an evidence base to inform the development of age-appropriate sexual health services in Greater Manchester will also be discussed.
Background:
David’s background is in epidemiology and his academic interest focuses on how multiple biological, psychological and social problems conspire to erode late-life quality-of-life and wellbeing. Human sexuality and intimacy is an important aspect of this and his current research focuses on how older people prioritise sexual health and the impacts of caring, intimate relationships throughout the life-course.
