The knowledge and attitudes of radiologic technologists and allied health students regarding AIDS and AIDS patients.
Two questionnaires on AIDS knowledge and attitudes were administered to allied health and radiologic technology students, and a group of radiologic technologists. Generally negative attitudes and poor knowledge prevailed. No correlation could be found between knowledge scores and attitudes. Implications for entry-level and continuing education are also discussed.
