Cognitive testing of a survey instrument to assess sexual practices, behaviours, and health outcomes: a multi-country study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population level data on sexual practices, behaviours and health-related outcomes can ensure that responsive, relevant health services are available for all people of all ages. However, while billions of dollars have been invested in attempting to improve sexual and reproductive health (including HIV) outcomes, far less is understood about associated sexual practices and behaviours. Therefore, the World Health Organization embarked on a global consultative process to develop a short survey instrument to assess sexual health practices, behaviours and health outcomes. In order for the resulting draft survey instrument to be published as a 'global' standard instrument, it is important to first determine that the proposed measures are globally comprehensible and applicable.
