Sexuality and mental health in people aged 60 and over

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study uses standardized questionnaires to explore links between sexual life and mental health in community-dwelling older adults. Participants aged 60 or older who can communicate in French will complete measures such as the Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS), the EORTC QLQ-C30 quality-of-life questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD), and report psychotropic medication use. People with major neurocognitive disorders or who cannot communicate in French are excluded. Analyses will examine relationships across questionnaire dimensions and compare sexual functioning with mental health scores and psychotropic drug use.
