Peer education remains a popular strategy for health promotion and prevention, but evidence of its effectiveness is still limited. This article presents a systematic review of peer education interventions in the European Union that were published between January 1999 and May 2010. The objective of the review is to determine the effectiveness of peer education programs for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, adolescent pregnancy prevention and promotion of sexual health among young people. Standardized methods of searching and data extraction were utilized and five studies were identified. Although a few statistically significant and non-significant changes were observed in the studies, it is concluded that, overall, when compared to standard practice or no intervention, there is no clear evidence of the effectiveness of peer education concerning HIV prevention, adolescent pregnancy prevention and sexual health promotion for young people in the member countries of the European Union. Further research is needed to determine factors that contribute to program effectiveness.
同伴教育仍然是促进健康和预防的一种流行策略，但它的有效性证据仍然有限。本文对 1999 年 1 月至 2010 年 5 月间在欧盟发布的同伴教育干预措施进行了系统评价。该评价的目的是确定同伴教育方案在预防人体免疫机能丧失病毒(艾滋病毒)、预防少女怀孕和促进年轻人性健康方面的有效性。采用了标准化的搜索和数据提取方法，确定了 5 项研究。尽管在研究中观察到了一些有统计学意义和无统计学意义的变化，但结论是，总的来说，与标准做法或无干预相比，在欧盟成员国中，同伴教育在预防艾滋病毒、预防少女怀孕和促进年轻人性健康方面的有效性并没有明显证据。需要进一步研究以确定促成方案有效性的因素。
