Predictor variables included economic status (more versus less developed country), country of origin (Middle Eastern, North African, or Asian region or not), and racial identity (percentage of White, Caucasian, and\/or European American women included in studies from Western societies).

Health providers located in these regions need to ensure they are screening for FSD and potentially comorbid issues across all health care settings to ensure they are providing the best possible care. The findings align with prior literature suggesting that acculturation\/immigration, religion, and culture may impact sexuality and should be considered accordingly in FSD prevention and intervention efforts.<\/jats:p>\n
