Abstract

GBM have more mental, sexual and wider health problems than the rest of society. This study examines how Covid-19 social distancing has increased these problems, and how GBM have used online services to improve their health. With the NHS and 3rd sector, we will develop resources to address the long-term Covid-19 impact.
