Classroom education is a key strategy to controlling sexually transmitted diseases in young persons. Textbooks are the major or sole source of STD information for many students. Thirteen secondary level health science textbooks and five sex education textbooks were reviewed to assess their potential contribution to STD control objectives. Worth assessment, a decision analysis tool for helping decision makers choose among complex or maltiattributed alternatives, was used to evaluate the STD content. The review indicated that sex education textbooks are more likely to contribute to STD control objectives than are health science textbooks. Health science textbooks failed to incorporate information on preventive health behaviors. Both types of textbooks present biomedical information primarily, which is generally free of significant errors. The worth assessment method proved to be a useful tool for evaluating the quality of textbook treatment in a specific content area.
课堂教育是控制年轻人性传播疾病的一项关键策略。教科书是许多学生获取性传播疾病信息的主要或唯一来源。我们审查了13本中等水平的健康科学教科书和5本性教育教科书，以评估它们对性传播疾病控制目标的潜在贡献。“价值评估”是一种帮助决策者在复杂或多属性备选方案中进行选择的决策分析工具，我们用它来评估性传播疾病相关内容。审查表明，与健康科学教科书相比，性教育教科书更有可能有助于实现性传播疾病控制目标。健康科学教科书未能纳入预防性健康行为方面的信息。这两类教科书主要呈现生物医学信息，这些信息一般没有重大错误。事实证明，价值评估方法是评估特定内容领域教科书内容质量的有用工具。
