Abstract
Students enrolled in a 1960 course in marriage and the family comple ted a questionnaire at the beginning of the course. The questionnaire results indicated that "contraception" is more easily understood to mean control of number and spacing of children than either "birth control" or "family planning." The questionnaire polled knowledge of an attitude toward contraception. 1/2 of the men and 1/2 of the women had had high school courses in the subject, usually from the health, physical education, or biological point of view. Most of the students had discussed the subject with peers and most wished for more information from doctors. Most hoped schools would teach such information to their children. Men viewed contraception more negatively than women respondents. Most answers did not differ between married and unmarried students. The questionnaire data indicate that the course should place more emphasis on the functions of contraception and reliability of various methods. In addition to contraception, the students expressed an interest in discussing cross-religious marriage, premarital sex, love, and family income.
