Effective curricula should influence knowledge levels of all students, including high-risk populations. In this study, a modified version of the National Adolescent Student Health Survey was administered to a group of eighth and 10th grade students (N = 3,803) exposed to a curriculum designed to improve AIDS and STD knowledge levels. The analysis examined the influence of gender, ethnicity, alcohol use, and sexual activity as they related to AIDS and STD knowledge. Findings indicated poor knowledge scores on STD items, with no significant differences on group comparisons. Comparisons of AIDS knowledge scores indicated significant differences based on gender, ethnicity, and behavior. Females scored higher than males, whites scored higher than blacks, and abstainers from sexual activity and alcohol scored higher than their active counterparts. Results suggest current educational efforts are not equally effective. Future educational initiatives should be sensitive to group membership.
有效的课程应该影响所有学生的知识水平，包括高危人群。在本研究中，对一组接触旨在提高艾滋病和性传播疾病知识水平课程的八年级和十年级学生（N = 3803）进行了修改后的全国青少年学生健康调查。分析考察了性别、种族、饮酒情况和性行为与艾滋病和性传播疾病知识的关系。结果表明，性传播疾病项目的知识得分较低，组间比较无显著差异。艾滋病知识得分的比较表明，基于性别、种族和行为存在显著差异。女性得分高于男性，白人得分高于黑人，没有性活动和不饮酒的学生得分高于有性活动和饮酒的学生。结果表明，目前的教育努力效果并不相同。未来的教育举措应该考虑到群体差异。
