University-based peer health education is a recent development in China. The authors evaluated a newly implemented program in the Guangdong province.
In September 2006, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaires on 30 peer educators and 247 students.
All peer educators and the majority of student respondents positively evaluated the program. Although students preferred to seek health information online, approximately one-quarter of the student respondents would contact peer educators. Third-year students were more than twice as likely (29.1%) to contact peer educators than were fourth-year students (13.1%). The peer educators perceived diet, physical activity, safer sex, and mental health as the most relevant student health topics. Peer educators cited acquiring factual information and medical skills, rather than personal development, as the most important things learned from the program.
Despite some promising results, Western-based peer education models may require cultural adaptation for greater effectiveness in China.
基于大学的同伴健康教育在中国是一项新发展。作者评估了广东省新实施的一个项目。
2006年9月，作者采用自填式问卷对30名同伴教育者和247名学生进行了横断面研究。
所有同伴教育者和大多数学生受访者对该项目给予了积极评价。尽管学生更喜欢在网上获取健康信息，但约四分之一的学生受访者会联系同伴教育者。三年级学生联系同伴教育者的可能性（29.1%）是四年级学生（13.1%）的两倍多。同伴教育者认为饮食、体育活动、安全性行为和心理健康是与学生健康最相关的话题。同伴教育者指出，从该项目中学到的最重要的东西是获取事实信息和医疗技能，而非个人发展。
尽管取得了一些令人鼓舞的结果，但基于西方的同伴教育模式可能需要进行文化调适，以便在中国更有效。
