Effect of a Course in Cancer Prevention on Students' Attitudes and Clinical Behavior.

Peters, Antoinette S.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v62 n7 p592-600 Jul 1987

The long-term effects of a first-year medical school course in disease prevention focusing on cancer were studied. Students who took the course were more knowledgeable about cancer than their peers, but had neither significantly more positive attitudes nor tendencies to use prevention techniques in clinical settings.
