The British National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) are some of the largest and most detailed studies of sexual attitudes and behaviour in the world. This open access teaching dataset contains data from Natsal-3, which interviewed 15,162 adults aged 16-74 in 2010-2012. The data are taken from the original Natsal-3 study accessible via the UK Data Service, held under SN 7799. To make the data accessible for teaching via an open data licence, a subset of variables and cases has been selected. Some demographic variables have also been recoded and a new continuous variable measuring attitudes towards sexual behaviours has been created.
