Chronic Sex

Thank you for filling out this survey!

The answers you provide will be anonymous and only utilized for research regarding how often sexual issues are discussed in healthcare. The cumulative percentages on questions will be used in order to discuss these issues at Stanford University's Medicine X conference in the next month.

If you have any issues or would like to talk further in person, please email me at kirsten@chronicsex.org.

Thanks again!

Quality of Life (QOL) issues include relation to self, relationships with others, stress, life events, ability to perform daily tasks (cooking, cleaning, bathing, bathrooming, etc).
