An observational study of the impact of the 2014 XX Commonwealth Games on the sexual and reproductive health services in Glasgow, Scotland.

Large sporting events have raised concerns about the effect on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of visiting and resident populations to the host city and increased demand on SRH services. However, there is little evidence to support these concerns.
