This paper describes parents' views of the New York City Public High School's AIDS Education and Condom Availability Program. It presents findings from 12 focus groups with 81 parents of students at six representative high schools. Focus groups were conducted as part of an independent, comprehensive 3-year evaluation of the program, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative components. Participants were mostly supportive of the program, citing intense concern about AIDS among adolescents, fear that teenagers do not adequately perceive themselves as being vulnerable, and personal experiences with infected relatives and friends. Implications of these findings for program development are discussed and recommendations for social policy changes are presented.
本文描述了家长对纽约市公立高中艾滋病教育及避孕套供应项目的看法。文中呈现了来自六个具有代表性的高中的81名学生家长参加的12个焦点小组的研究结果。焦点小组是作为对该项目为期三年的独立、全面评估的一部分进行的，评估包括定性和定量两部分。参与者大多支持该项目，理由是对青少年中的艾滋病问题深感担忧，担心青少年没有充分意识到自己易受感染，以及有与感染艾滋病的亲属和朋友接触的个人经历。文中讨论了这些研究结果对项目发展的影响，并提出了社会政策变革的建议。
