Research Priorities

1. Prevalence and Incidence Studies

 Establishing accurate epidemiological data through large-scale, methodologically rigorous population studies.

2. Advance Diagnostic & Distinction Instruments

Creating standardized, validated diagnostic and distinction criteria, building on existing diagnostic criteria, to further assessment tools for clinical and research use; to improve diagnosis, enable consistent research, and advance clinical care worldwide.

3. Pathophysiology Investigation

 Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying persistent sexual dysfunction post-SSRI treatment.

4. Treatment Research

Research on possible medical interventions for symptom management
