AIDS affects everyone, regardless of race, age, or religion; hence, information must be accessible to everyone. This descriptive study identified the need to generate culturally sensitive educational programs and evaluated their effect. Culturally sensitive AIDS educational training was offered to culturally diverse women. Training was conducted by women of the same ethnicity as the women in the group. The facilitators were specially trained on the role of a facilitator and the participatory method of learning. To assess any change in attitude, knowledge, and beliefs regarding AIDS, the questionnaire was administered before and after the training programs. Educational training had a positive effect (p < .05) on participants' attitude and knowledge regarding AIDS; they felt comfortable discussing their concerns in their own language, and with their friends from the same community, and they viewed the resources used as culturally sensitive.
艾滋病影响着每一个人，无论种族、年龄或宗教信仰如何；因此，信息必须对每个人都易于获取。这项描述性研究确定了开展具有文化敏感性的教育项目的必要性，并评估了其效果。针对文化背景各异的女性提供了具有文化敏感性的艾滋病教育培训。培训由与小组中的女性同属一个种族的女性进行。培训师接受了关于培训师角色和参与式学习方法的专门培训。为了评估在艾滋病态度、知识和信念方面的任何变化，在培训项目前后发放了问卷。教育培训对参与者关于艾滋病的态度和知识产生了积极影响（p < 0.05）；他们感到能够用自己的语言并与来自同一社区的朋友舒适地讨论自己关心的问题，并且他们认为所使用的资源具有文化敏感性。
