Q206<br />

What it measures<br />

This is essentially the same as Adult<br />

Indicator 3. However it makes no distinction<br />

between partner types. It gives a good idea <strong>of</strong><br />

the overall turnover <strong>of</strong> partners among young<br />

men and women. As with Adult Indicator 3.,<br />

a threshold <strong>of</strong> risk must be chosen, and it is<br />

recommended that this choice be informed by<br />

the median number <strong>of</strong> partners recorded in<br />

the first survey round.<br />
