200 R. Rosen et al. TABLE 5. FSFI Domain Characteristics: Reliability were observed for all six domains (Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.82 and higher). Test-retest reliability was assessed by computing the stability coefficient (Pearson product-moment correlation) between Visits 1 and 2 scores. As seen in Table 5, overall test-retest reliability was relatively high for all of the domains (r = 0.79 – 0.86) and for the total scale (r = 0.88). For the FSAD group, the domain of desire showed the highest test-retest reliability (r = 0.80), with the other domains showing moderately high correlations (r = 0.62 – 0.71). In general, higher reliability of domain scores was obtained for the control group than for the FSAD group, though all reliability coefficients were statistically significant.

All are significant, p < 0.001 Discriminant validity (the ability of the scale to differentiate between clinical and nonclinical populations), was assessed by comparing the mean responses of patients with FSAD with those of the controls. Table 6 presents the means of each domain and the individual items within the domains. As shown, statistically significant differences between the groups were observed for all the domains and for the full scale score. The largest differences between the groups were seen for the domains of lubrication and arousal.
