摘要：
The Female Sexual Function Index ( FSFI) is a very well- worded sexual function screen with excellent psychometric qualities. However, some aspects of the scoring procedures pose conceptual and statistical problems, which we illustrate in part by way of an empirical example. The recommended solutions should further strengthen the utility and validity of this instrument.
