INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this article is to describe the language ability and school functioning of early adolescents with perinatal HIV/AIDS.
METHOD
Participants included 43 youths, 9-15 years, and their primary caregivers. Youths completed the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and the Reading Subtest of the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT3) and were interviewed regarding their future educational aspirations and parental supervision and involvement with homework. Caregivers were interviewed regarding the child's school achievement, parental supervision and monitoring, and educational aspirations for their child.
RESULTS
Fifty-four percent of youths scored below average (<25th percentile) on the PPVT, and 29% scored below the 10th percentile; 40% scored below average (<25th percentile) on the WRAT3, and 24% scored below the 10th percentile. Scores were associated with parental monitoring and educational aspirations.
DISCUSSION
Youths performed poorly on tests of verbal and reading ability, although their scores were not dissimilar to those of other samples of inner-city youths. Future research should attempt to isolate the impact of HIV disease on intellectual and school functioning of HIV+ youths.
引言
本文旨在描述患有围产期艾滋病毒/艾滋病的青少年早期的语言能力和学校学习情况。
方法
参与者包括43名9至15岁的青少年及其主要照顾者。青少年完成了皮博迪图片词汇测试（PPVT）和广泛成就测试的阅读子测试（WRAT3），并接受了关于他们未来教育抱负以及父母对家庭作业的监督和参与情况的访谈。照顾者接受了关于孩子学业成绩、父母监督和监管以及对孩子教育抱负的访谈。
结果
54%的青少年在PPVT测试中得分低于平均水平（<第25百分位），29%的青少年得分低于第10百分位；40%的青少年在WRAT3测试中得分低于平均水平（<第25百分位），24%的青少年得分低于第10百分位。分数与父母的监管和教育抱负相关。
讨论
青少年在语言和阅读能力测试中表现不佳，尽管他们的分数与其他市中心青少年样本的分数没有差异。未来的研究应试图分离出艾滋病毒疾病对艾滋病毒阳性青少年智力和学校学习情况的影响。
