Hello!

My name is Steve Clayton and I live in the city of Leeds in the UK.

I am currently studying part-time for a DPhil Degree in Social Work at the University of York where I am planning to undertake research to explore the health and social care needs of older gay men in the West Yorkshire area of the UK. I am also keen to explore attitudes towards older gay men across health and social care services. I am in my first year at present and I would be interested to hear from anyone undertaking related research (local and global) to share thoughts and ideas.

You may find the following list of references useful (apologies for any typing errors, this is an unedited text transfer from my database of references).

I look forward to hearing from you,

kindest regards,

Steve.
