The effectiveness of a peer-led education intervention in HIV/AIDS prevention was assessed in the Chinese children of migrant workers. A prospective study was conducted in 12 junior high schools for migrant children. Among the intervention group, a peer-education-based HIV/AIDS prevention was implemented for three months. The results during the baseline survey indicated that the level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS was lower in children of migrant workers. After three months of peer-led intervention, compared with the control group, students in the intervention group positively increased their HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, modified their attitude and improved their protection self-efficacy. Compared with attitude, intervention was more effective in the improvement of knowledge and protection self-efficacy, especially knowledge. The findings suggest that peer-led education was an effective method in improving knowledge, attitude and protection self-efficacy in Chinese children of migrant workers. Heightened concerns targeting the group students were particularly necessary, given their lower level of related knowledge and vulnerability to HIV infection.
一项针对农民工子女开展的同伴主导的艾滋病预防教育干预措施的有效性评估在中国农民工子女中进行。在12所农民工子女初中开展了一项前瞻性研究。在干预组中，实施了为期三个月的基于同伴教育的艾滋病预防措施。基线调查结果表明，农民工子女对艾滋病的知识水平较低。经过三个月的同伴主导干预后，与对照组相比，干预组学生在艾滋病相关知识方面有积极增加，态度有所改变，保护自我效能得到提高。与态度相比，干预在知识和保护自我效能的改善方面更有效，尤其是知识方面。研究结果表明，同伴主导的教育是提高中国农民工子女知识、态度和保护自我效能的有效方法。鉴于该群体学生相关知识水平较低且易感染艾滋病毒，特别有必要对他们给予更多关注。
