A pilot project conducted in three Jerusalem schools in 1990-91 demonstrated that medical students who had received extensive training in teaching about AIDS and its prevention were able to influence the level of knowledge and attitudes on this subject among high school students. Research findings showed moderate to low knowledge levels in a sample group of 241 Jerusalem high school students on all AIDS-related questions. The average score was (mean +/- SD) 68.9 +/- 15.4, with significant differences (P < 0.01) between boys 77.2 +/- 8.6 and girls 65.9 +/- 16.4. The principal source of knowledge on AIDS among the sample population was the electronic media, 47% stating that their knowledge of HIV/AIDS came from television. After a series of four lessons in the "The Immune System and AIDS" program, there was a significant improvement in the students' knowledge. The average score rose to 78.8 +/- 13.9 with an improvement of up to 23% in the answers to the various subgroups of questions. The program succeeded in clarifying for the students the degree of personal risk from contracting HIV, but did not affect their fear of the disease--70% of the students stated that they were afraid of being ill with AIDS. The study did not examine the students' behavioral patterns.
1990 - 1991年在耶路撒冷三所学校开展的一个试点项目表明，接受过艾滋病及其预防知识教学方面广泛培训的医科学生能够影响高中生在该主题上的知识水平和态度。研究结果显示，在241名耶路撒冷高中生的样本组中，他们在所有与艾滋病相关问题上的知识水平处于中等偏下。平均分数为（均值±标准差）68.9±15.4，男生（77.2±8.6）和女生（65.9±16.4）之间存在显著差异（P < 0.01）。样本人群中艾滋病知识的主要来源是电子媒体，47%的人表示他们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的了解来自电视。在开展了一系列关于“免疫系统与艾滋病”课程的四节课之后，学生们的知识有了显著提高。平均分数升至78.8±13.9，对各问题子组的回答最多提高了23%。该课程成功地向学生阐明了感染艾滋病毒的个人风险程度，但并未影响他们对这种疾病的恐惧——70%的学生表示他们害怕患上艾滋病。该研究未考察学生的行为模式。
