| dc.description | Information for this paper was collected through interviews of
87 persons seeking treatment for venereal disease in public health
centres in six different towns around Kenya. Data is presented on
the subjects' social characteristics and their responses to questions
about sexual behaviour and venereal disease. Judging from the sample
population, it seems that venereal disease is more prevalant among the
young and the single or divorced. The respondents' knowledge about the
causes and prevention of venereal disease was found to be very limited.
In conclusion, public education concerning these very common infectious
diseases is urgently recommended. | |
