DSM-5 genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder: Prevalence, comorbidities, and associated factors in university students.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

Little is known about the prevalence of Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder (GPPPD), a female sexual dysfunction newly introduced in the DSM-5. This study aimed to estimate the 12-month prevalence of clinical and subclinical GPPPD among first-year university students in Germany, examining comorbidities and associated factors.

Method

As part of the WHO World Mental Health International College Student initiative, the 12-month prevalence of GPPPD was assessed in female university students in Germany during 2016/2017 (N = 521). Using propensity score weighting, 12-month prevalence rates were determined for clinical and subclinical GPPPD together with associated factors and mental health comorbidities using binary logistic regression.
