A survey of three groups of medical students at the University of Southampton--each group being at a different stage in the course--was carried out in order to establish how far sexual attitudes and knowledge were influenced by the curriculum. Few changes in attitude were recorded, but knowledge of sexual matters was found to have increased in the students who had completed the third year of the course, compared with the level of knowledge assessed in those who were about to begin their course or who had completed the first year. As a result of the survey, some changes have been made in the undergraduate curriculum.
