| Natsal 2000 used the following definition of a “sexual partner” “people who have had sex together—whether just once, or a few times, or as regular partners, or as married partners,” and “sex” was defined as “this includes vaginal, oral and anal sexual intercourse”. Respondents read these terms and definitions at the start of the CASI. | ||||
| *Weighted, unweighted denominator defined as women resident in Britain for at least 5 years who reported sexual partner(s) in the past 5years. | ||||
