Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Sexual dysfunction is a common concern among aging male populations.
  • Understanding factors influencing help-seeking behavior is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • Veterans represent a unique demographic with specific health considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of interest in evaluating perceived sexual problems among male veterans.
  • To explore the roles of sexual function, emotional state, physical health, and demographics in this interest.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional mailed survey administered to a random sample of male veterans (n=427).
  • Data collected on emotional state, physical state, demographics (marital status, race, age), and sexual function.
  • Logistic regression analysis used to determine significant predictors of interest in sexual problem evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Erectile function, libido, and orgasm significantly influenced interest in evaluation.
  • Physical state did not predict interest after controlling for sexual function and emotional state.
  • Never married, non-white, and elderly veterans showed less interest in evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual function, age, race, and marital status are key determinants of male veterans' interest in seeking assessment for sexual problems.
  • Findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive and age-appropriate approaches to sexual health in veteran care.
  • Further research can explore barriers to care for specific veteran subgroups.
