Staff from 3 Toronto hospitals were surveyed for knowledge, attitudes and concerns about AIDS. 70% of the 1,366 respondents had direct clinical experience with persons with AIDS. Data were analyzed according to hospital setting and professional group: physicians, nurses, technologists and supervisory staff. No setting difference was observed and although statistically significant differences (at the .001 level) were observed between professional groups, these differences are small and have little practical importance. In general, subjects answered 68% of the knowledge questions correctly. All attitudes and concerns were inversely associated to knowledge (Pearson r range was -.31 to -.20). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that knowledge and concern about contagion are important mediating variables (multiple r = .40) for other attitudes and concerns.
