Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

  • Data collection on self-reported competence and barriers related to sexual health.

    • Main Results:

    • Approximately 43% of PCPs reported moderate perceived competence in managing sexual health.
    • Nearly 42% of PCPs identified moderate barriers to addressing sexual health issues.
    • A significant proportion of physicians experience challenges in sexual health provision.

    Conclusions:

    • Moderate levels of perceived competence and identified barriers highlight a need for targeted interventions.
    • Enhanced sexual health education and training for PCPs are recommended.
    • Improving PCP confidence and reducing barriers can lead to better sexual health service delivery.
