This booklet presents information about venereal disease to the student in a simple, step-by-step way. It includes at least one question box on almost every page, requiring the reader to become actively involved with the material which is presented. The booklet is made up of seven sections, and is accompanied by a separate booklet which contains resource notes for teachers. Section 1 explores the nature of the problem, and includes discussions on the causes of gonorrhea and syphilis, how they are contracted, immunity, and treatments. Section 2 discusses how venereal disease affects the male and female reproductive organs. Sections 3 and 4, entitled Gonorrhea and Syphilis, include discussions of the symptoms, prevention, and treatment of these diseases. Section 5 contains a comprehension test with 25 questions relating to the previously covered material. The sixth section is composed of reference notes for the student and discusses how venereal disease probably began, the search for a cure, and venereal diseases and young people. The last section is a glossary of words used in the text. (BD)
