The study evaluates the outcome of a California-based AIDS prevention program, "Stop AIDS." Community discussion groups focusing on information, attitudes, and behavior associated with HIV infection and transmission were conducted in one-time, 3 1/2-hour sessions. Participants completed different versions of the AIDS Prevention Test before and after the discussion group. Significant positive shifts in information, attitudes, and behavior were observed as a function of the discussion group participation. Whereas pretest knowledge correlated with pretest behavior and posttest knowledge, only pretest behavior correlated with the crucial variable of posttest intended behavior. When changes from pretest to posttest were analyzed, both information and attitude change correlated to changes in behavior. The intervention and evaluation procedures are proposed as a replicable national model for community-based AIDS prevention programs.
该研究评估了加利福尼亚州一项名为“阻止艾滋病”的艾滋病预防项目的成果。以一次性3个半小时的课程形式开展了社区讨论小组活动，这些小组聚焦于与艾滋病毒感染和传播相关的信息、态度及行为。参与者在讨论小组前后完成了不同版本的艾滋病预防测试。作为参与讨论小组的结果，在信息、态度和行为方面观察到了显著的积极转变。虽然测试前的知识与测试前的行为及测试后的知识相关，但只有测试前的行为与测试后预期行为这一关键变量相关。当分析从测试前到测试后的变化时，信息和态度的变化都与行为的变化相关。该干预和评估程序被提议作为基于社区的艾滋病预防项目可复制的全国性模式。
