This article provides information on a study of the examination of the nature of college women's clinical interactions with their gynecologists. It informs on the characteristics of non-passive women; discusses the methodology used to determine clinical interactions; discusses the results of the study; and finally concludes. The women interviewed for this study were chosen randomly from under- graduate women attending the State University of New York at Geneseo in the Fall 1995 semester. Seventy-two women were selected, but fifteen were eliminated because they had never been to a gynecologist. The interviews focused on the women's most recent examinations, where eleven of the interviewees saw a female gynecologist and nine a male gynecologist. The sample was evenly distributed among class years (five first-year students, six sophomores, five juniors, and four seniors) but slightly skewed in terms of major. None of the women in the given sample was majoring in any of the natural sciences, a factor which may have influenced the nature of their discussions of medicine. |
