Vulvovaginal Pain Experiences: Race and Healthcare Seeking, United States, 2021
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study was an exploratory cross sectional survey designed to explore the experiences of people of color with chronic vulvovaginal pain (CVVP) related to the quality and intensity of their pain in various contexts, the effect of their CVVP on general sexual function, the effect of their CVVP on their relationships, their experiences managing a chronic pain condition, their experiences attempting to seek treatment, and their perceptions of medical mistrust. The survey included both ad hoc items and validated psychometric measures, including the McGill Pain Questionnaire, the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised, the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire 8-Item, and the Group Based Medical Mistrust Scale (GBMMS). A primary goal of this study was to better understand the experiences of people of color with CVVP, defined as any person who identifies as a race and/or ethnicity other than White non-Hispanic/Latinx. Additionally, this study aimed to examine associations between perceptions of medical mistrust measured via the GBMMS and healthcare seeking outcomes related to diagnostic delay.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
