A survey of New Zealand medical students is described in which knowledge of human sexuality is documented to vary with age, sex, marital status, participation in a human sexuality teaching programme and year of course. Whilst no group scored disastrously and all groups scored well in some areas of sexuality, most groups also demonstrated significant gaps in their knowledge. Within any large medical school it is likely that there will be student subgroups with widely different levels of knowledge and therefore different needs requiring to be met in terms of education. Knowledge of sexuality was demonstrated to increase during the Otago medical course and for this process to have been facilitated by a formal human sexuality teaching programme. Support is therefore given to the need for, and effectiveness of, such teaching programmes in medical schools.
本文描述了一项针对新西兰医学生的调查，其中记录了有关人类性行为的知识随年龄、性别、婚姻状况、是否参与人类性行为教学计划以及课程年份的不同而有所变化。虽然没有哪个群体得分极低，并且所有群体在性行为的某些方面得分都不错，但大多数群体在知识方面也存在显著差距。在任何大型医学院中，很可能会有知识水平差异很大的学生亚群体，因此在教育方面需要满足不同的需求。研究表明，在奥塔哥医学课程期间，学生对性行为的知识有所增加，并且正式的人类性行为教学计划推动了这一过程。因此，支持在医学院开展此类教学计划的必要性及其有效性。
