Taking a Sexual History

This video is recommended for training physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, and psychologists interested in developing their skills in sexual history taking and increasing their awareness of sexual health care issues. The format comprises a seminar presentation by Marian Glasgow, M.S.W. adjunct assistant professor Boston University School of Medicine and Boston University School of Public Health. Audience participation, physician and patient commentaries and graphics cover:

1. The rationale for taking a sexual history in a healthcare setting.
2. The Glasgow short form assessment of sexual health.
3. A review of common barriers to talking about sex in clinical practice.
