The current study was designed to evaluate a unique adolescent peer type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) prevention training program for fifth grade children. Peer educators were 22 high school students who participated in the Elementary Institute of Science's Commission on Science that Matters, a year-long program promoting active participation in the health and environmental sciences. Peer education was delivered in the form of a two hour health fair. A knowledge survey was given to fifth grade students in the classroom before the health fair began and then again in the classroom after the health fair. Fifth grade students were able to correctly identify Type 1 DM (23 vs. 40%; P < .01), Type 2 DM (21 vs. 52%; P < .001), and the signs of diabetes (10 vs. 39%; P < .001) after the health fair. This approach could be inexpensively integrated into any community-based health promotion with children and adolescents.
本研究旨在评估一种针对五年级儿童的独特的青少年同伴 2 型糖尿病（Type 2 DM）预防培训计划。同伴教育者是 22 名高中生，他们参加了基础科学研究所的科学问题委员会，这是一个为期一年的项目，旨在促进积极参与健康和环境科学。同伴教育以两个小时的健康博览会的形式进行。在健康博览会开始前，先在教室里向五年级学生发放知识调查问卷，然后在健康博览会结束后再在教室里发放。健康博览会后，五年级学生能够正确识别 1 型糖尿病（23 比 40%；P<.01）、2 型糖尿病（21 比 52%；P<.001）和糖尿病的症状（10 比 39%；P<.001）。这种方法可以经济实惠地融入任何面向儿童和青少年的社区健康促进活动中。
