STD Brochure
The· recent telecast which offered the brochure "Sexually
Transmissible Diseases" captured the attention of many professional groups
and individuals. Over 120 requests for multiple copies have been received
to date. Requests have come from health departments and clinics, as well
as from nurses, schoolteachers and leaders of church youth groups. The
total number of brochures ordered in bulk thus far is about 5,000.
Our previous reprint article "The Silent Epidemic" was one of the most
frequently asked-for items as far as ·bulk distribution. It seems certain
that multiple requests for the brochure "Sexually Transmissible Diseases"
will be even higher.
