The Sheppe and Hain Study Revisited: Professional Students and Their Knowledge and Attitudes About Human Sexuality

Marcotte, D. B.; And Others

Medical Education, 11, 3, 201-4, May 77

Results from a sample of 160 medical and 79 law students revealed that medical students know less about sex and hold less tolerant views towards others' sexual behavior. Evidence of a double standard was not found, but the data reinforce the need for medical sex education to equip doctors with both knowledge and a tolerant attitude. (Author/LBH)
