Meeting a person with AIDS in the classroom was evaluated to determine if it had an impact on students' perceived susceptibility to HIV infection and attitudes toward persons with AIDS. The meeting was incorporated into the Grade 9 AIDS education program of a school district in Nova Scotia. Four schools participated in this study. Two schools were randomly assigned to the treatment group, which met the person with AIDS, and the remaining two schools formed the comparison group. Measures of the two attitudinal variables were collected using a self-report questionnaire that was administered both prior to and two weeks after the educational intervention. Meeting a person with AIDS in the classroom had no measurable impact on students perceived susceptibility to HIV infection nor on their attitudes toward persons with AIDS. Suggestions for using the educational intervention more effectively and for further research are made.
对在课堂上与艾滋病患者接触的情况进行了评估，以确定这是否会对学生感知到的感染艾滋病毒易感性以及对艾滋病患者的态度产生影响。这次接触被纳入新斯科舍省一个学区的九年级艾滋病教育项目。四所学校参与了这项研究。两所学校被随机分配到治疗组，即与艾滋病患者接触，其余两所学校组成对照组。使用一份自我报告问卷收集两个态度变量的测量数据，该问卷在教育干预之前和之后两周都进行了发放。在课堂上与艾滋病患者接触对学生感知到的感染艾滋病毒易感性以及对艾滋病患者的态度均未产生可测量的影响。文中还提出了更有效利用该教育干预措施以及进一步开展研究的建议。
