a) To assess the suitability of the curriculum content and didactical quality of information delivered to educate journalists in the J2J program in HIV/AIDS (process evaluation) and b) to explore the effects of such programs on journalists' reporting of HIV/AIDS related information (outcome evaluation).
Descriptive study.
For the process evaluation, each J2J program curriculum was evaluated for accuracy and pertinence by individuals with high familiarity with HIV/AIDS research. For the outcome evaluation, a survey of J2J attendees and evaluations of the program lectures by attendees were performed in chronological order to determine their perception on usefulness of the program.
Overall, the J2J curriculum is successful in providing journalists with a clear understanding of the current HIV/AIDS medical research objectives and issues with most journalists reporting an increased ability to better investigate and disseminate accurate information on this subject. Furthermore, the journalists surveyed reported positive community responses directly as a result of the J2J training.
The J2J program helps to increase global awareness of pertinent HIV/AIDS concepts. Through this professional development strategy, journalists from around the world may help to amplify efforts to prevent new HIV infections and quench the dissemination of inaccurate information and folklore.

描述性研究。
对于过程评估，由对艾滋病病毒/艾滋病研究非常熟悉的个人评估每个 J2J 项目课程的准确性和相关性。对于结果评估，按时间顺序对 J2J 与会者进行调查，并对与会者对项目讲座的评价，以确定他们对该计划的有用性的看法。
总体而言，J2J 课程成功地使记者清楚地了解当前艾滋病病毒/艾滋病医学研究目标和问题，大多数记者报告说，他们有能力更好地调查和传播这方面的准确信息。此外，接受调查的记者报告说，J2J 培训直接导致社区做出积极反应。
