The study made a significant contribution to understanding the sexual needs of people with disabilities, presenting a challenge both in terms of subject matter and the nature of the target group.

 

Initial assumptions:


Objective: A foundation commissioned the study, conducted by SW Research, to understand the needs of people with disabilities regarding knowledge about sexuality, access to sexual health services, and to assess their situation in the areas of sexuality and parenthood.

Methodology: Online interviews (CAWI)

Target group: People with physical disabilities aged 18–64.


Implementation:


The online survey (CAWI method) was conducted between 20 January 2020 and 19 February 2020. The study involved 803 respondents aged 18–64 with physical disabilities.

 

Results:


Delivering the project was a challenge in itself – both because of the sensitive yet important subject matter, and because of the specific nature of the research sample. Reaching such a large number of people with physical disabilities is an undeniable achievement on a national scale. As a result, the research report produced represents a unique knowledge base on the sexual needs of people with disabilities and continues to serve as a current source of press releases with nationwide reach.
