Me. Geisser et al., USE OF THE FLORIDA SEXUAL HISTORY QUESTIONNAIRE TO DIFFERENTIATE PRIMARY ORGANIC FROM PRIMARY PSYCHOGENIC IMPOTENCE, Journal of andrology, 14(4), 1993, pp. 298-303
A recent study demonstrated the Florida Sexual History Questionnaire (
FSHQ) is reliable and valid when used to discriminate impotent from no
nimpotent men. This study examined the ability of the FSHQ to discrimi
nate between men with primary psychogenic and primary organic impotenc
e in a sample of impotent diabetics and a larger group of impotent men
. The hit rate in the diabetic sample was 81% using an eight-item disc
riminant function, and 70% using the total score. Hit rates in the lar
ger sample were significant but lower (73% and 66%). The results sugge
st that the FSHQ has concurrent validity in terms of discriminating pr
imary organic from primary psychogenic impotence.
