Multicultural diverse groups are defined as a group of individuals possessing shared life experiences peculiar to that group, or possessing unique social status, rules, or languages (Gilson & DePoy, 2001 Gilson, S. F. and DePoy, E. 2001. Theoretical approaches to disability content in social work education. Journal on Social Work Education, 38(1): 153–165. [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) has mandated teaching gay and lesbian multicultural content since 1992 (CSWE, 1992). Approximately 326 regionally stratified national social work instructors were surveyed during January and February 2006. An exploratory survey was constructed to measure teaching the two constructs of knowledge and attitudes of multicultural competency as adapted from Crisp and DiNitto (2004) Crisp, C. and DiNitto, D. M. 2004. “Substance abuse treatment with sexual minorities”. In Chemical dependency: A systems approach , 3rd ed., Edited by: McNeece, C. A. and DiNitto, D. M. Boston: Allyn & Bacon. [Google Scholar]. This descriptive study measures opinions of social work (SW) faculty/instructors’ knowledge and values relating to teaching nine identified multicultural diverse groups when compared to teaching gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered (GLBT) content. This study uses a stratified random sample and attempts to measure how well instructors are teaching multicultural content within 10 identified groups, and offers comparisons between teaching GLBT with other content areas
