This study assessed the impact of a Spanish version of the Male Involvement Project (MIP) on the undergraduate students at the University of Puerto Rico. Students were voluntarily exposed to a workshop on human sexuality. Human modeling, group dynamics, and multisensorial approaches were used. An experimental design with one group pretest and posttest was used. Results from the posttest and a follow-up survey indicated that the treatment was associated with a significant increase in knowledge about reproduction, sexually transmitted diseases, and contraceptive methods. Furthermore, significant changes in attitudes toward male and female contraceptives, as well as in attitudes toward unwanted pregnancy were found after the workshops and in the follow-up survey. Participants reported that the workshops were clearly presented, interesting, and met their needs. It was concluded that this Spanish version of the MIP was effective and appropriate in promoting a positive impact upon the attitudes, knowledge, and behavior of participants. Implications for future research and for practical purposes within the higher education system are discussed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-03, Section: A, page: 1007. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
