This study assesses the level of knowledge about and attitudes toward AIDS among youth residing in residential centers. It also assesses the degree to which they engage in high risk behaviors related to AIDS. The study evaluates the impact of a short educational intervention on the youth's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to AIDS. Findings suggest that the respondents are relatively knowledgeable about the disease and how to prevent it. However, a substantial proportion of them do not hold positive attitudes toward prevention and are actually engaging in unsafe behavior. The results also show that a short intervention that provides information about AIDS is ineffective in reducing engagement in high risk activities.
本研究评估了居住在寄宿中心的青少年对艾滋病的知识水平和态度。它还评估了他们参与与艾滋病相关的高危行为的程度。该研究评估了短期教育干预对青少年与艾滋病相关的知识、态度和行为的影响。研究结果表明，受访者对这种疾病以及如何预防相对了解。然而，他们中相当大一部分人对预防没有积极态度，实际上还在从事不安全行为。结果还表明，提供艾滋病信息的短期干预在减少高危活动参与方面无效。
