We conducted factor analyses considering all participants (n\u00a0=\u2009399). Then, we conducted latent class analysis within the GPPPD group to identify clusters of individuals with similar VPSS profiles. We assessed convergent validity through intercorrelation with the Brazilian versions of the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) and the 6-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-6).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We developed complete and short-form versions of the VPSS (VPSS-29 and VPSS-SF11, respectively), each with 3 dimensions, to screen, assess, and stratify GPPPD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Factor analysis yielded a 3-factor VPSS model with the \u201cNonsexual Genital Self-Exploration,\u201d \u201cNonsexual Vaginal Penetration Skills,\u201d and \u201cSexual Vaginal Penetration Skills\u201d dimensions for both VPSS versions. The reliability was excellent for the VPSS-29 (\u03c9\u00a0=\u20090.981, \u03b1\u00a0=\u20090.981) and the VPSS-SF11 (\u03c9\u00a0=\u20090.959, \u03b1\u00a0=\u20090.961). All 3 dimensions could detect significant differences between patients with GPPPD and healthy females. They also differentiated the patients with GPPPD, distinguishing gradient levels. For convergent validity, we found moderate to strong correlations (rho\u2009=\u20090.715\u20130.745) between the VPSS, FGSIS, and FSFI-6.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The VPSS can be applied easily in both clinical and research settings.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The VPSS provides a concise and thorough evaluation of receptive vaginal penetration skills in both sexual and nonsexual contexts among patients with GPPPD.
