Popis: During the decade 1962-1971, the proportion of married seminary students who planned to contribute actively to family-planning counseling resources in American communities rose from six out of 10 to eight out of 10. During that same period, however, follow-up data indicate that the actual participa tion level in premarital birth-control counseling by clergymen increased only half as much as expected from 1962 data. The evidence offered below suggests that this gap is in part a result of a lack of counseling preparation: recently graduated American clergymen who plan to offer premarital family planning counseling are as poorly prepared to do so as were their predeces sors 10 years ago, due to a continuing lack of adequate training in this area provided by the seminaries.
