National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles

The National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (NATSAL) is the name given to a series of face-to-face surveys of people in the United Kingdom regarding their sexual behaviour and patterns. The three rounds of interviews completed to date are NATSAL-1 (1990–91) and NATSAL-2 (2000-01) and NATSAL-3 (2010–12).[1] The results are widely used in research and policy making. NATSAL's principal investigator is Anne Johnson, a professor at University College, London,[2] and co-leader Kaye Wellings, a professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.[3]

The Natsal-3 survey revealed, among other things, that British people are having sex less often than they did 20 years ago.[4]
