Background

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB), Durham County Council (on behalf of 13 local authorities), the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) have worked together to develop a regional sexual health campaign for young people aged 15–24 years.

The 'Elephant in the Room' campaign aims to reduce the stigma associated with sex and sexual health by encouraging honest conversations among young people, as well as increasing condom use and testing, to help reduce the number of STIs.
