For the second analysis, new-onset sexual dysfunction was identified from electronic medical record data in the Military Health System Data Repository for active duty participants. Medical visits from U.S. military medical facilities and other reimbursable facilities (e.g., via TRICARE) were evaluated for select International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. The accuracy of the U.S. military record system has previously been shown comparable with that of other large health-care systems (Meyer & Krakauer, 1998). Sexual dysfunction was determined by having at least one of the ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes that indicate sexual dysfunction: psychosexual dysfunction, unspecified (302.70), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (302.71), psychosexual dysfunction with inhibited sexual excitement (302.72), male orgasmic disorder (302.74), premature ejaculation (302.75), other psychosexual dysfunction (302.79), pathologic sexuality (302.9), painful erection (607.3), impotence of organic origin (607.84), retrograde ejaculation (608.87), painful ejaculation (608.89), or decreased libido (799.81) (Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, 2014; Hosain et al., 2013; Wilcox et al., 2014).
