文化禁忌会限制学生对重要话题的学习。在印度，这样的禁忌导致多个邦禁止旨在教育青少年有关艾滋病的材料，使数百万人处于危险之中。我们介绍了TeachAIDS的设计，这是一个利用文化洞察力、学习科学和技术能力的软件应用程序，在绕过禁忌的同时提供全面的艾滋病毒教育。使用混合方法评估，我们证明该软件使学生对艾滋病毒的知识显著增加，并减少了对感染病毒的个体的污名。通过验证TeachAIDS在规避禁忌方面的有效性，学生们报告说，使用该软件学习很舒服，此后，该软件已在印度数万所学校部署。这里提出的方法对设计和实施互动式技术以提供关于保健和其他领域敏感主题的教育具有更广泛的影响。
Cultural taboos can restrict student learning on topics of critical importance. In India, such taboos have led multiple states to ban materials intended to educate youth about HIV, putting millions at risk. We present the design of TeachAIDS, a software application that leverages cultural insights, learning science, and affordances of technology to provide comprehensive HIV education while circumventing taboos. Using a mixed-methods evaluation, we demonstrate that this software leaves students with significantly increased knowledge about HIV and reduced stigma toward individuals infected with the virus. Validating the effectiveness of TeachAIDS in circumventing taboos, students report comfort in learning from the software, and it has since been deployed in tens of thousands of schools throughout India. The methodology presented here has broader implications for the design and implementation of interactive technologies for providing education on sensitive topics in health and other areas.
