(Urologe 2019;58:1331\u20101337) was applied. This 4\u2010page questionnaire contains mainly multiple\u2010choice questions.

In a simple pictogramm, 63% were able to correctly identify the prostate, 87% the testis and 64% the epididymis. Half of the students (49.3%) could describe the function of the testis. The question regarding the age peak of testicular cancer was correctly answered by 81%, yet 18% believed that testicular cancer is caused by the sexual contact. The purpose of the testicular self\u2010examination was correctly answered by only 54.9% with a higher rate for women (67.5%\u00a0vs. 44.3%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001). With a theoretical maximal score of 15, the students reached a mean overall of 10.4 with no sex difference (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a00.05). Differences were noted for the school type: the highest score was present in the Gymnasium (11.2), followed by the Realgymnasium (10.8) and the HTL (9.8; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This survey demonstrates relevant knowledge deficits of young adults regarding the male reproductive tract, testicular cancer and self\u2010examination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.13447","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,6]],"date-time":"2023-05-06T06:31:31Z","timestamp":1683354691000},"page":"109-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Knowledge on the male reproductive tract and testicular cancer among adolescents in Austria"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ingrid","family":"Schauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Klinik Favoriten  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8402-8574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Banner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Klinik Favoriten  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephan","family":"Madersbacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Klinik Favoriten  Vienna Austria"},{"name":"Department of Urology Sigmund Freud Private University  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Anegg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Sigmund Freud Private University  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2217\/fon.09.116"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.293"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41572-018-0029-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012390"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","unstructured":"Hoden (C62) \u2010 Krebsinzidenz (Neuerkrankungen pro Jahr) \u00d6sterreich ab 1983[Internet].2022.
