全球性态度和行为研究（GSSAB）调查了27，500名40-80岁的男性和女性的性和关系的各个方面。在这里，我们报告求助行为的性问题，在这一人群。使用每个国家公认的调查方法进行了问卷调查。尽管几乎一半的性活跃受访者至少经历过一次性问题，但其中不到19%的人（18.0%的男性和18.8%的女性）曾试图为他们的问题寻求医疗帮助。男女最常采取的行动是与伴侣交谈（39%）。在过去3年中，只有9%的男性和女性在例行访问中被医生询问过性健康问题。虽然性问题非常普遍，但很少有男性和女性因这些问题寻求医疗帮助。总体而言，男性和女性表现出类似的求助行为。(C)2005年Blackwell出版社
The Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors (GSSAB) investigated various aspects of sex and relationships among 27,500 men and women aged 40-80 years. Here, we report help-seeking behaviours for sexual problems in this population. A questionnaire was administered using the accepted survey method in each country. Although almost half of all sexually active respondents had experienced at least one sexual problem, less than 19% of them (18.0% of men and 18.8% of women) had attempted to seek medical help for their problem(s). The most frequent action taken by men and women was to talk to their partner (39%). Only 9% of men and women had been asked about their sexual health by a doctor in a routine visit during the past 3 years. Although sexual problems are highly prevalent, few men and women seek medical help for these problems. Overall, men and women show similar help-seeking behaviours. (C) 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
