Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviours of Medical Students Towards Sexual Health (360G-Wellcome-206931_Z_17_Z)

Sexual health is a key component to a holistic approach to health frequently overlooked as quite a taboo subject. Medical students as future healthcare professionals and advocates of a healthy lifestyle, it is therefore critical that they understand the importance of their own sexual health and that of their future parents. As part of my research project I plan to investigate the knowledge attitudes and behaviours of undergraduate medical students around sexual health. Notably focussing on the areas of contraception, STI’s, sexual activity and how students feel their knowledge in these areas has been influenced by the medical curriculum. As well as this identifying where possible influential factors such as social, cultural, personal, economic and educational. This study will be carried out following extensive literary reviews in the areas, before compiling a questionnaire for distribution in a cross-sectional survey of undergraduate medical students. The results obtained will be entered into SPSS for cleaning and analyses. This data can then be used a comparison against both national and international based studies. Highlighting any new data. Finally dissemination of findings, via Wellcome Trust research report, conference presentation and peer reviewed journal article.
