Product Description:

We analyzed 2011–2019 data from the National Survey of Family Growth to examine disability's association with sexual experiences among females aged 15–25.  Our findings demonstrate that young disabled females have active sex lives, highlighting the need for comprehensive sexual education and health care addressing relationships with all genders, STI testing and prevention, and sexual rights and consent.
