HIV/AIDS poses grave risk to human development in sub-Saharan Africa. Evidence-based interventions that are rooted in local culture could help efforts to prevent threats to human development from HIV/AIDS. We used concept mapping (Concept System, 2006 ) to construct the components and content of a locally developed HIV/AIDS curriculum for use by secondary schools in Lusaka, Zambia. Participants were school counsellors (n = 14), youth health program officers (n = 7), and regular education teachers (n = 3) from the education, health, and youth development agencies in Lusaka, Zambia (males = 11; females = 13; mean age 38; SD = 15 years). Concept mapping yielded six statement clusters defining preliminary components of a locally grounded in-school HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum and the content items that define these components: (1) life skills education (18 items), (2) sexuality and reproductive health (10 items), (3) treatment, care and support (13 items), (4) counselling (12 items), (5) basic facts about HIV/AIDS (11 items), and (6) dissemination of information about HIV/AIDS (11 items). Zambian locally constructed constructs for an HIV/STD prevention curriculum overlap those promoted by public health programs in the country and internationally.
艾滋病毒/艾滋病对撒哈拉以南非洲的人类发展构成严重威胁。基于证据的干预措施植根于当地文化，可以帮助预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病对人类发展的威胁。我们使用概念映射（Concept System，2006）来构建一个在赞比亚卢萨卡的中学使用的艾滋病毒/艾滋病课程的组成部分和内容，该课程是在当地开发的。参与者包括来自赞比亚卢萨卡的教育、卫生和青年发展机构的学校辅导员（n = 14）、青年健康项目官员（n = 7）和普通教育教师（n = 3）（男性 = 11；女性 = 13；平均年龄 38；SD = 15 岁）。概念映射产生了六个陈述群，定义了一个基于当地的学校内艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防课程的初步组成部分以及定义这些组成部分的内容项目：（1）生活技能教育（18 项），（2）性和生殖健康（10 项），（3）治疗、护理和支持（13 项），（4）咨询（12 项），（5）艾滋病毒/艾滋病的基本事实（11 项），以及（6）艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息的传播（11 项）。赞比亚本土构建的艾滋病毒/性传播疾病预防课程的结构与该国和国际公共卫生项目所倡导的结构重叠。
