Concordance of self-reported sexual intercourse frequency between members of mixed-sex couples attempting conception.

ABSTRACT: Studies about sexual health require accurate information on sexual behaviors, yet there is no gold standard for assessing sexual behavior. Concordance of partner reports is one way to estimate the reliability and, indirectly, the validity of such data.
