ABSTRACT

The Sexual Knowledge, Experience, Feelings and Needs Scale (SexKen) is designed to evaluate the knowledge, experience, feelings, and needs of respondents in a range of sexual areas. There are four parallel versions of the scale: for people from the general population (SexKen), for people with mild intellectual disability (SexKen-ID), for people with physical disability (SexKen-PD), and for caregivers of people with disabilities (SexKen-C). The development of these parallel forms allows the similarities and differences in the sexuality of different groups of respondents to be evaluated and also the report of people with disabilities to be contrasted with the report of their caregivers. The measures may be completed as either a questionnaire or interview.
