学校广泛采用同伴主导的健康教育。支持者认为这是一种有效的方法，因为他们相信信息，尤其是敏感信息，更容易在年龄相仿的人之间分享。批评者认为，这是一种不基于可靠理论或有效性证据的方法。本综述评估了以学校为基础的健康教育计划，这些计划旨在比较同龄人或成年人提供相同材料的效果。已确认的研究表明，同伴领导至少与成年人一样有效，甚至比成年人更有效。尽管这表明同伴领导的项目可能是有效的，但方法上的困难和分析上的问题表明，这不是一个容易调查的领域，迄今为止的研究还没有提供一个明确的答案。
Peer-led health education in school is widely used. Advocates suggest it is an effective method based on the belief that information, particularly sensitive information, is more easily shared between people of a similar age. Critics suggest that this is a method not based on sound theory or evidence of effectiveness. This review evaluates school-based health education programmes which have set out to compare the effects of peers or adults delivering the same material. The identified studies indicated that peer leaders were at least as, or more, effective than adults. Although this suggests that peer-led programmes can be effective, methodological difficulties and analytical problems indicate that this is not an easy area to investigate, and research so far has not provided a definitive answer.
