Four hundred and twelve seventh- and eighth grade students from a predominantly white, suburban, middle-class school were surveyed regarding their knowledge and attitudes about AIDS. The Survey about AIDS for Seventh and Eighth Graders (SASEG) utilized for the study is a 56-item, self-administered questionnaire that includes 26 multiple-choice knowledge items, 20 Likert-type attitude items, and 10 demographic/experiential items. Overall, students were judged to possess reasonably high knowledge levels and generally favorable attitudes regarding AIDS. However, there were several areas of misinformation and unfavorable attitudinal responses. A low positive relationship was found between knowledge and attitudes. Higher levels of knowledge and more favorable attitudes were associated with being female, being older, and having discussed AIDS with one's parents. Higher levels of knowledge were also associated with having had previous AIDS instruction and with not knowing someone with AIDS. These findings support the need for AIDS education in the pre-high school setting.
对一所主要为白人、位于郊区的中产阶级学校的412名七年级和八年级学生进行了关于他们对艾滋病的知识和态度的调查。本研究使用的《七年级和八年级学生艾滋病调查问卷》（SASEG）是一份有56个项目的自填式问卷，包括26个多项选择题知识项目、20个李克特式态度项目和10个人口统计学/经验项目。总体而言，学生们被判定拥有相当高的知识水平，并且对艾滋病普遍持积极态度。然而，存在几个错误信息领域和负面态度回应。在知识和态度之间发现了低正相关关系。较高的知识水平和更积极的态度与女性、年龄较大以及与父母讨论过艾滋病有关。较高的知识水平还与之前接受过艾滋病教育以及不认识艾滋病患者有关。这些发现支持了在高中前阶段开展艾滋病教育的必要性。
