In analyses controlling for demographic and professional characteristics, the likelihood that physicians' STD knowledge was useful was significantly elevated among women (odd ratio, 21) doctors aged 40 and younger (23) those practicing in cities (17) and those who said they were familiar with the federal treatment guidelines (20) The researchers characterize physicians' knowledge of STD management as "too many times poor" and emphasize the ne for continuing education programs to focus upon this area of care.
