Sexual health of Indian immigrant men in Australia: an exploratory research on help-seeking attitudes

Sex Health. 2013 Aug;10(4):380-1. doi: 10.1071/SH12199.

Abstract

The help-seeking attitudes for sexual health of Indian men living in Australia was explored. Of all survey respondents (n=225), many preferred to seek help from medical doctors. Young (18-25 years) Indian men were three times more likely to prefer a specialist medical doctor than older men. Ethnicity and gender of the medical doctor was 'not important' for the majority of men. Most men preferred to seek help from their regular general practitioner.
