This study assesses the validity of a single-question screener for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men at risk in comparison to a standard validated tool - the five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). A total of 174 men with at least one risk factor for ED were studied, with 58.0% and 10.9% of the study respondents meeting the criteria for their erectile impairment by IIEF-5 and single-question screener respectively. Our results suggest that in spite of high feasibility, a simplified, single-question screener has low sensitivity in capturing ED prevalence, even in an at-risk population, within the Asian context.

Department of Internal Medicine, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Objectives: Screening for social needs is recommended during clinical encounters but multi-item questionnaires can be burdensome. We evaluate if a single question about financial stress can be used to prescreen for food insecurity, housing instability, or transportation needs.
Methods: We use retrospective medical record data from children (<11 years) seen at 45 primary pediatric care offices in 2022.

The Richard and Roxelyn Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA.
Objectives: Understanding the determinants of hearing aid use is important to improve the provision of hearing healthcare. Prior research has indicated that materials in the clinic and online, as well as audiologists' language during appointments, require a higher literacy level than most patients possess. We hypothesized that low health literacy is a barrier to entry in hearing healthcare, and therefore that health literacy would be positively correlated with the probability of hearing aid use.

Division of Medical Oncology Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Departments of Medicine and Epidemiology, Dalla Lana School of Public Health University of Toronto Toronto Ontario Canada.
Background And Aims: Dysphagia can be associated with significant morbidity in cancer patients. We aimed to develop and evaluate dysphagia screener tools for use in observational studies (phase 1) and for routine symptom monitoring in clinical care (phase 2).
Methods: Various dysphagia or odynophagia screening questions, selected after an expert panel reviewed the content, criterion, and construct validity, were compared with either functional assessment of cancer therapy - esophageal cancer (FACT-E) Swallowing Index Cut-Off Values or to questions adapted from the Patient Reported Outcomes for Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
