Abstract
The past 30 years have added little to our knowledge of attitude measurement in health education. Some 15 scales have appeared in the literature, but few of these have been successfully refined and standardized. This study critically reviews these scales, and brings the interested reader up to date in this all important area. It also poses several questions which, it is hoped, will stimulate thought and perhaps even a little research. A greater understanding of attitudes and how they are developed and measured is necessary to further health education outcomes. This will not be realized until health educators themselves lend their time and talents to the solution of the many problems in this area.
