TL;DR: The results support the reliability and psychometric (as well as clinical) validity of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in the assessment of key dimensions of female sexual function in clinical and nonclinical samples and suggest important gender differences in the patterning of femaleSexual function in comparison with similar questionnaire studies in males.
Abstract: This article presents the development of a brief, self-report measure of female sexual function. Initial face validity testing of questionnaire items, identified by an expert panel, was followed by a study aimed at further refining the questionnaire. It was administered to 131 normal controls and 128 age-matched subjects with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) at five research centers. Based on clinical interpretations of a principal components analysis, a 6- domain structure was identified, which included desire, subjective arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Overall test-retest reliability coefficients were high for each of the individual domains (r=0.79 to 0.86) and a high degree of internal consistency was observed (Cronbachs alpha values of 0.82 and higher) Good construct validity was demonstrated by highly significant mean difference scores between the FSAD and control groups for each of the domains (p<0.001). Additionally, divergent validity with a scale of marital satisfactio...

TL;DR: The results indicate that sexual dysfunction is an important public health concern, and emotional problems likely contribute to the experience of these problems.
Abstract: ContextWhile recent pharmacological advances have generated
increased public interest and demand for clinical services regarding
erectile dysfunction, epidemiologic data on sexual dysfunction are
relatively scant for both women and men.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence and risk of experiencing sexual
dysfunction across various social groups and examine the determinants
and health consequences of these disorders.DesignAnalysis of data from the National Health and Social Life
Survey, a probability sample study of sexual behavior in a
demographically representative, 1992 cohort of US adults.ParticipantsA national probability sample of 1749 women and 1410
men aged 18 to 59 years at the time of the survey.Main Outcome MeasuresRisk of experiencing sexual dysfunction as
well as negative concomitant outcomes.ResultsSexual dysfunction is more prevalent for women (43%) than
men (31%) and is associated with various demographic characteristics,
including age and educational attainment. Women of different racial
groups demonstrate different patterns of sexual dysfunction.
Differences among men are not as marked but generally consistent with
women. Experience of sexual dysfunction is more likely among women and
men with poor physical and emotional health. Moreover, sexual
dysfunction is highly associated with negative experiences in sexual
relationships and overall well-being.ConclusionsThe results indicate that sexual dysfunction is an
important public health concern, and emotional problems likely
contribute to the experience of these problems.

TL;DR: Cross-validate the Female Sexual Function Index in several samples of women with mixed sexual dysfunctions and develop diagnostic cut-off scores for potential classification of women's sexual dysfunction and discuss the results in terms of potential strengths and weaknesses of the FSFI.
Abstract: The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a brief, multidimensional scale for assessing sexual function in women. The scale has received initial psychometric evaluation, including studies of reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity (Meston, 2003; Rosen et al., 2000). The present study was designed to cross-validate the FSFI in several samples of women with mixed sexual dysfunctions (N = 568) and to develop diagnostic cut-off scores for potential classification of women's sexual dysfunction. Some of these samples were drawn from our previous validation studies (N = 414), and some were added for purposes of the present study (N = 154). The combined data set consisted of multiple samples of women with sexual dysfunction diagnoses (N = 307), including female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), female sexual orgasm disorder (FSOD), dyspareunia/vaginismus (pain), and multiple sexual dysfunctions, in addition to a large sample of nondysfunctional controls...
