The project AIDS Prevention Strategies for Rural Families in Northeastern Thailand aimed to find effective strategies for AIDS education for rural families to promote non-risk behavior, non-discrimination while supporting care for individuals with HIV/AIDS in their families and in the community; to provide opportunities for family members, community leaders and HIV/AIDS organizations to cooperate, exchange ideas, and to participate in campaigns at the community level; and, to find appropriate media to improve the knowledge, understanding and awareness of HIV/AIDS among rural families. Data was collected through interviews by questionnaires, group discussions and in-depth interviews in two districts in the target province. A comparison of pre- and post test data analyzing knowledge of HIV transmission, AIDS prevention and treatment, attitudes and motivations, prevention behavior and women's empowerment all showed a significant improvement in all the above areas for the trial population.
泰国东北部农村家庭艾滋病预防策略项目旨在为农村家庭寻找有效的艾滋病教育策略，以促进无风险行为、消除歧视，同时支持家庭和社区对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的护理；为家庭成员、社区领袖和艾滋病毒/艾滋病组织提供合作、交流想法以及参与社区层面活动的机会；并寻找合适的媒体，以提高农村家庭对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的认识、理解和知晓度。通过问卷调查、小组讨论和在目标省份的两个地区进行深入访谈来收集数据。对分析艾滋病毒传播知识、艾滋病预防与治疗、态度与动机、预防行为以及妇女赋权的测试前后数据进行比较，结果显示试验人群在上述所有领域均有显著改善。
