With parental consent, we surveyed 942 students in grade 7 and 8 at the Ottawa Board of Education before the introduction of compulsory AIDS education. Television was seen as the most common and credible source of information about AIDS. Parents (by girls) and school nurse (by boys) were also seen as credible sources of information about AIDS. Boys seemed to know more about the transmission of AIDS than girls did. There was high awareness of condoms as an effective method of preventing the spread of AIDS. Avoidance of sexual intercourse as an effective preventive measure was less well known. AIDS education in school should emphasize abstinence as well as barrier methods as effective methods in preventing AIDS, and utilize the media, parents and family in educating students about AIDS.
在获得家长同意后，我们在渥太华教育委员会引入强制性艾滋病教育之前，对942名七年级和八年级学生进行了调查。电视被视为关于艾滋病最常见且可靠的信息来源。家长（女孩提及）和学校护士（男孩提及）也被视为关于艾滋病的可靠信息来源。男孩似乎比女孩更了解艾滋病的传播途径。人们对避孕套作为预防艾滋病传播的有效方法有较高的认知度。而将避免性行为作为一种有效的预防措施则鲜为人知。学校的艾滋病教育应强调禁欲以及屏障方法作为预防艾滋病的有效手段，并利用媒体、家长和家庭来教育学生了解艾滋病。
