It includes the three components of sexuality (acts, relationships and meanings), while simultaneously recording them in individual trajectories, in the social context, life circumstances and forms of the reports between men and women. A "Health and Sexuality" approach was prioritised to consider HIV infection as well as contraception, elective abortions, STIs (sexually transmitted infections), sexual violence, dysfunction and other sexual problems. The survey also includes an epidemiological extension aimed at studying, for the first time in France, the prevalence of Chlamydia Trachomatis infection and the risk factors for contamination. null France Individuals General population Male Female Young Adult (19 to 24 years) Adult (25 to 44 years) Middle Aged (45 to 64 years) Every person between 18 and 69 years of age living in metropolitan France and able to understand the French language well enough to answer the telephone questionnaire was eligible. Youths under 18 years of age were not included in the survey. One of the reasons is the possible presence of parents, whose prior authorisation is necessary. In effect, the presence of parents may lead underage children to provide answers that do not match the reality of their emotional and sexual lives. Several foreign surveys have limited the age of inclusion to 45 years. The CSF survey sample extends the limit to 69 years in order to study how the population manages its emotional and sexual life in a context of prolonged sexual life.

Until then, researchers who wish to use the CSF database should send a study protocol to the scientific supervisors of the CSF survey. Once the protocol is validated, a member of the CSF survey scientific team is designated as a point of contact. The researchers should then sign an agreement in which they agree: • not to provide the digital files to any other researcher or research team and not to use them to train students until March 2011; • to only publish results corresponding to the project submitted to the CSF team. Any other analysis should be the subject of a new project and a validation by the entire CSF team. • to send the CSF team, for feedback, a final version of the article before it is submitted to a journal.
