鉴于印度青少年艾滋病毒感染的现状，制定和实施艾滋病毒教育和预防干预措施至关重要。学校青少年教育计划 (STEP) 的目标是证明，根据特定文化、语言和社区特定特征制定的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和酗酒教育计划可能是有效的。利用培训师培训模式，对教师（17-21 岁）进行了培训，向印度北部喜马偕尔邦的 23 所学校（N = 1,421）主要向 13-16 岁的农村和部落青少年介绍 10 节手动课程。干预措施对女孩的影响更大；女孩的沟通能力更强，自我效能感更强，冒险行为减少。 STEP 已被参与协调当地项目的社区组织成功采用。他们打算在额外资金之外继续实施 STEP，这表明利用当地社区来设计、实施和评估项目可以促进主人翁意识和可持续性。
Given the current status of HIV infection in youth in India, developing and implementing HIV education and prevention interventions is critical. The goal for School-based Teenage Education Program (STEP) was to demonstrate that a HIV/AIDS and alcohol abuse educational program built with specific cultural, linguistic, and community-specific characteristics could be effective. Utilizing the Train-the-Trainer model, the instructors (17-21 years) were trained to present the 10 session manualized program to primarily rural and tribal youth aged 13-16 years in 23 schools (N = 1,421) in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh in India. The intervention had a greater impact on girls; girls evidenced greater communication skills and a trend towards greater self efficacy and reduced risk taking behavior. The STEP has been successfully adapted by the community organizations that were involved in coordinating the program at the local level. Their intention to continue STEP beyond extra funding shows that utilizing the local community in designing, implementing and evaluating programs promotes ownership and sustainability.
