Cronbach's alphas for this scale were. Progressive factorial invariance was performed separately for men and women Table 3 in order to evaluate the scale's construct validity and establish the factorial equivalence between versions of Spain and Colombia.
Analysis began with the model's most basic level of restriction: Good fit of the data matrix was observed in the proposed theoretical model, which allows to accept the equivalence of the basic mea surement models between the two versions of the test. As for weak invariance, proper fit of the model is observed, as well as compliance with factorial invariance for both men and women, with a decrease in CFI no greater than. In regards to strong invariance, a good fit is observed in both men and women. However, the CFI increase for men is slightly higher than expected, though AIC increase is not very high, so it was considered that this level of invariance is also met.
Finally, for strict invariance, which was the last level tested, results also showed a good fit in RMSEA values in both men and women; the CFI and AIC increase indicate equal estimation error in evaluating both the Colombian and the Spanish versions. The majority of the scales show a significant correlation as compared to the MGH-SFQ and they aim at the expected direction. The only subscale that does not correlate with the test is the assertiveness STD-P.
Furthermore, the intra-items correlations are very similar for Spain and Colombia, as shown in Tables 5 and 6. Likewise, the percentage of participants who had some kind of dysfunction was estimated establishing a score of 2 or less as a cutoff point.
Forty-four point six percent of women in Colombia and The first scale to evaluate sexual functioning in both Colombian men and women was validated in this study. Furthermore, it was proven that the scores are strictly invariant, thus allowing to compare sexual functioning scores for both men and women from Spain and Colombia. The samples obtained in this study were homologous in most socio-demographics, and those in which statistically significant differences were found are not expected to affect the results due to the low size of the effect of the differences.
The qualitative evaluation of the items was appropriate. Items which showed any problems during the initial stage of adaptation were modified following the comments of the experts from "How would you rate your overall sexual satisfaction in the last month? The quantitative evaluation of the items is also optimal. The distribution of scores, with a mean of the scale slightly above its theoretical average as would be expected in non-clinical population , and standard deviations close to 1 indicate an adequate distribution of scores.
One of the limitations of the MGH-SFQ is the fact that its dimensionality has not been replicated; in fact, to the extent of our knowledge, only Sierra, Santos-Iglesias, et al. Not only was the theoretical basis of dimensionality verified through content validity, but a confirmation of the dimensionality and equivalence with the version validated in Spain was also performed in this study through factorial invariance. A level of strict invariance was obtained for both men and women with a single limit value in strong invariance.
This allows not only the comparison between groups Elosua, , but to carry it out with the same level of error Dimitrov, External validity shows positive significant correlations between low and moderate with sexual self-esteem, sexual preoccupation, initial sexual assertiveness, general self-esteem and erotophilia. Other authors had already found some of these relations: Negative correlations with sexual depression and sexual refusal assertiveness were also found; the latter relation -albeit weak- was also observed in Vallejo-Medina and Sierra This result is coherent since it could be an avoidance behavior of people who have some type of sexual dysfunction, because they tend to avoid sexual contact in order not to face the difficulty they are dealing with.
Sexual functioning and assertiveness STD-P do not correlate and this fact agrees with other studies' findings as highlighted by Santos-Iglesias and Sierra Besides, correlations observed between items in this study indicate, as in other studies Sierra, Santos-Iglesias, etal. This instrument could be used for screening because it allows to identify difficulties regarding sexual response, but it does not allow to specify particular characteristics of different dysfunctions.
This study has some limitations related to a linear interpretation of sexuality, an aspect that may not correspond to women sexual functioning which is more complex.
It is also important to establish the correlation of this scale with other sexual functioning scales, as well as extending the study population including clinical sample, which would allow a better extrapolation of data. Finally, the use of an incidental sampling, conducted through a virtual evaluation, makes generalization of results impossible. Nevertheless, it is worth considering that this is a first validation of a scale to evaluate sexual functioning in Colombia.
The result is a valid and reliable adaptation for evaluating Colombian women and men's sexual functioning, which also allows a cultural comparison with Spain.
