We sent them the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EDPS), the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS), and a self-constructed questionnaire for body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) and other data.
