In an urban gynecology practice serving patients with publicly and privately funded insurance, female sexual dysfunction was associated with low income, depression, urinary incontinence, and sexual inactivity.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction is common, and the effect of socioeconomic status in an urban population is unknown. The objective is to determine socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with female sexual dysfunction for patients with publicly and privately funded health insurance in an urban outpatient gynecology clinic.

Methods: We performed an observational, IRB approved, cross-sectional study of 238 sexually-active, non-pregnant women reporting to two urban gynecology clinics, representing patients with publicly funded (n=70) or privately funded health insurance (n=168). The participants completed validated questionnaires measuring sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index or FSFI), depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale), urinary incontinence (Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis), and demographic variables. Data was analyzed with non-parametric t-tests, chi-squared tests, and linear regression models.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sexual Dysfunction, run by Brett Worly, MD.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

FSF Index (time frame: Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2015.
