Validation of the Sexual Distress Scale – Short Form (SDS-SF)
Summary
This study aims to increase the usability of a newly formed questionnaire, the 5-item Sexual Distress Scale - Short Form, by validating its use in a sample of people with and without sexual concerns. We also hope to identify an accurate clinical cut-off score to be used by sexual health clinicians and researchers. In order to do this, we need to collect data from people who identify themselves as having healthy sexual function, to compare it to information we already have from people who report having sexual concerns.
