Key facts

PhenX - causes and treatments of known infertility - male protocol 100201

The interviewer asks the participant questions about whether the participant or partner has needed medical assistance with having a baby, the type of assistance, and the type of infertility problems. Questions 1-3 are asked of both males and females. The NSFG provides a card of response categories to the respondent. For example, in question 2, an investigator would provide the respondent with a card listing the categories "advice, infertility testing, drugs to improve ovulation," "surgery to correct blocked tubes," "artificial insemination," "treatment for varicocele," and "other types of medical help." A card was also provided in question 3. RTI has removed references of the card from the questions. The male NSFG questions (questions 1-3) have been modified to indicate partner instead of wife. Below is a definition from the Mayo Clinic website that researchers may find helpful in using the toolkitA varicocele (VAR-ih-koe-seel) is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles. A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein that can occur in your leg. Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, although not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles also can cause testicles to shrink. (Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/Varicocele/DS00618 accessed February 15, 2010.) The PhenX Working Group recommends this measure should be preceded by "Difficulty in Conceiving" for a more complete assessment of infertility.
