In the absence of a cure or vaccine for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) educational and social marketing efforts to reduce the transmission of Human T-lymphotropic type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV) are currently our best hope for controlling the disease. Since 1983, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has funded a series of research studies to determine whether education efforts can successfully motivate the adoption of key behaviors relevant to the control of a variety of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Analysis of the first two studies which are now completed, and preliminary data from a third study, have documented dramatic changes in behavior, knowledge, and attitudes among clients in inner-city public health clinics. The authors describe the principles and underlying assumptions that have guided the design of their STD initiatives, drawing special attention to the implications for AIDS health education efforts.
由于目前尚无治愈后天免疫缺乏综合症（艾滋病）的方法或疫苗，通过教育及社会推广活动来减少人类T淋巴细胞病毒III型/淋巴结病相关病毒（HTLV-III/LAV）的传播，是我们目前控制该病的最大希望。自1983年以来，疾病控制中心（CDC）资助了一系列研究，以确定教育活动能否成功促使人们采取与控制多种性传播疾病（STD）相关的关键行为。对现已完成的前两项研究的分析以及第三项研究的初步数据表明，市中心公共卫生诊所的服务对象在行为、知识和态度方面发生了巨大变化。作者描述了指导其性传播疾病防治举措设计的原则及基本假设，并特别关注了这些原则对艾滋病健康教育工作的启示。
