Excerpt from Journal of Social Hygiene, Vol. 30: Index; 1944
A major difficulty Federal, State, and local educational efforts have faced is the shortage of trained educational personnel coupled With the increasing inability of physicians and nurses to spare the time which is required for adequate education of patient and the community. Other handicaps are found in a growing shortage of physical materials such as motion picture projectors and films; and in such factors as the competition for attention in the news columns which tends to push our usual educational press releases back among the classified advertisements.
Paramount among our advantages is the Opportunity for education inherent in the blood-testing of millions of young men. Other benefits are to be found in the discovery that, with a little training, intelligent laymen can do a very good job of venereal disease education; and in the fact that, if properly handled, news about the venereal disease control program will receive space on Page One, right along with the latest stories about Commando raids or gasoline rationing.
