Most university students support animal use in research, particularly those in engineering, law, and medical fields. Men and senior medical/nursing students showed greater acceptance of animal research compared to women and junior peers.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research ethics
  • Public perception of science

Background:

  • Understanding public attitudes towards animal research is crucial for policy development.
  • Student perspectives shape future scientific and medical communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how gender, academic discipline, and year of study influence undergraduate students' views on using animals in research.
  • To identify specific student demographics with differing opinions on animal research.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 888 undergraduate students across six disciplines at Uppsala University in 1998.
  • Statistical analysis using chi-square tests to compare student views.

Main Results:

  • A majority of students found animal use morally acceptable and vital for treating human diseases.

  • Students in engineering, law, and medical programs were most supportive; pre-school teaching students were least supportive.
  • Male students and senior medical/nursing students (sixth-term) expressed more positive views than female students and first-term peers.

    • Conclusions:

    • University students are likely to continue supporting animal use in biomedical research and teaching.
    • Findings suggest a trend of acceptance among future decision-makers in science and medicine.
