Webinar: Use of pornography among young adults in Ireland

Register

This webinar will launch a new ESRI report 'Use of pornography among young adults in Ireland' by Anne Nolan and Emer Smyth. The research, funded by the Health Service Executive (HSE) Health and Wellbeing Division, draws on the Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) study to look at pornography use among young adults. The research considers the influence of a range of factors on pornography use and examines how the use of pornography is related to key aspects of wellbeing and sexual behaviour. The event will also feature a panel discussion involving representatives from the HSE, National Council for Curriculum and Assessment and the National Youth Council of Ireland.
