Call for Papers
Older adults (people 60 years and older) are often neglected in sexual health research, programs, and services. Healthcare professionals do not frequently talk about sex with their older patients and many sexual health research studies exclude older participants. This suggests the need for more sexual health research among older adults. This special collection addresses this gap in the literature, drawing on a wide range of multi-disciplinary perspectives. For more information on this call for papers, see Sexual health in an aging world: a global call to action for more resilient services for older and disabled adults.
This special collection includes editorials, original research articles, reviews, and other evidence focused on sexual health among older adults. The special collection is led by Dr. Lianne Gonsalves and Dr. Joseph Tucker.
