The Sexual Knowledge Interview Schedule (SKIS) is a reliable tool for assessing sexual knowledge and abuse. Its scales demonstrate strong internal consistency and inter-rater reliability, making it useful for research and clinical settings.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sexology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Accurate sexual knowledge is crucial for well-being and safety.
  • Assessing sexual knowledge and experiences requires validated instruments.
  • Existing tools may not comprehensively cover all aspects of sexual health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the Sexual Knowledge Interview Schedule (SKIS).
  • To evaluate the reliability of the SKIS for assessing sexual knowledge and abuse.
  • To provide a psychometrically sound measure for sexual health research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the 46-item Sexual Knowledge Interview Schedule (SKIS).
  • Inclusion of scales for abuse and sexual knowledge (feelings, body parts, function, general knowledge).

  • Assessment of reliability, including internal consistency, inter-rater, and test-retest reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • The SKIS demonstrated strong internal consistency, with coefficients ranging from 0.78 to 0.96.
    • High inter-rater reliability was achieved at 95.3% agreement.
    • Test-retest reliability was found to be 70.1%.

    Conclusions:

    • The Sexual Knowledge Interview Schedule (SKIS) is a reliable instrument for assessing sexual knowledge and abuse.
    • The SKIS possesses adequate psychometric properties for use in diverse populations.
    • This tool can aid in understanding and addressing sexual health issues.
