This paper describes an interdisciplinary, variable credit-bearing university course on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that enrolled 429 students. Pre- and post-course questionnaires were used to assess knowledge and attitudes relative to AIDS and these were compared to National Health Interview Survey findings. Considerable cognitive and attitudinal changes occurred over the course period. University courses, taught annually, were found to be an efficient mechanism for educating large numbers of future community leaders and professionals about AIDS.
本文描述了一门跨学科的、可获得学分的大学课程,该课程围绕获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)展开,共有429名学生参加。通过课程前后的问卷调查来评估学生对艾滋病的知识和态度,并与国家健康访谈调查的结果进行比较。在课程期间,学生在认知和态度上发生了显著变化。结果发现,每年开设的大学课程是一种有效的机制,能够让大量未来的社区领袖和专业人士了解艾滋病知识。
