To describe a program which utilizes medical students and persons with AIDS (PWAs) to provide for adolescents school-based education about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Two 1.5 hour classroom sessions were conducted by medical students and persons with AIDS for seventh and eighth grade students (n = 1,161 students) at two urban middle schools. In addition, a two hour informational session was provided for parents. A 49 question student health survey was used to evaluate adolescents' HIV knowledge, tolerance of persons with AIDS, and intentions to engage in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) safe behaviors.
Significant (p < 0.01) increases in HIV knowledge and tolerance of persons with AIDS were observed, which persisted for three months. A significant (p < 0.01) improvement in intention to engage in HIV-safe behaviors was observed but did not persist for three months.
Medical students and persons with AIDS can provide school-based AIDS education to early adolescents.
描述一个利用医学生和艾滋病患者为青少年提供学校艾滋病教育的项目。
医学生和艾滋病患者在两所城市中学为七年级和八年级学生(共1161名学生)开展了两次为时1.5小时的课堂教学。此外,还为家长提供了一次为时两小时的信息交流会。通过一项包含49个问题的学生健康调查来评估青少年的艾滋病病毒知识、对艾滋病患者的容忍度以及采取预防人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)安全行为的意愿。
观察到艾滋病病毒知识和对艾滋病患者的容忍度显著提高(p < 0.01),且持续了三个月。采取HIV安全行为的意愿有显著改善(p < 0.01),但未持续三个月。
医学生和艾滋病患者可为青少年提供学校艾滋病教育。
