A survey of adolescents living in rural southwestern towns demonstrated their knowledge of the basic transmission routes of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Nevertheless, misconceptions and attitudes, which may interfere with adopting safe behaviors, persist. Significant differences in knowledge did exist between the ethnic groups surveyed. Further, American Indian and black adolescents were more likely to express attitudinal biases against people who have AIDS. We conclude that current media efforts have been successful in communicating basic information regarding transmission, but there may exist a need for ethnically specific programs that focus on the misconceptions and attitudes surrounding AIDS.
一项针对生活在西南农村城镇青少年的调查显示了他们对获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）基本传播途径的了解。然而，可能会干扰采取安全行为的误解和态度依然存在。在接受调查的不同种族群体之间，知识水平确实存在显著差异。此外，美国印第安人和黑人青少年更有可能表达对艾滋病患者的态度偏见。我们得出结论，当前的媒体宣传活动在传播有关传播途径的基本信息方面取得了成功，但可能需要针对不同种族制定专门项目，以关注围绕艾滋病的误解和态度问题。
