自艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病开始以来，撒哈拉以南非洲是受感染最严重的区域之一。一般来说，戏剧直观地被认为是一种有效的敏化工具，可以导致可持续的行为改变。这项研究评估了论坛剧场与传统的艾滋病毒/艾滋病宣传方法在中学青年知识、态度和做法方面的效率。本研究采用前测后测的评估方法。对布塔雷两所中学的两种不同干预措施进行了比较。2005年5月，为布塔雷公立中学的学生（干预组）举办了三次论坛剧场干预活动，并在浸信会初级神学院（对照组）举办了两次经典宣传活动。观察时间为6个月。2005年11月进行了最后的定量评估。总共选择了11个指标作为两所学校之间比较的基础。同质性检验显示，两所学校之间没有统计学显著差异。由于观察期较短，6个月时的影响评估无法证明统计学上的显著差异。然而，在干预组和对照组中观察到大多数指标的良好改善趋势。这两种干预措施的不同影响进行了讨论，并提出了建议，以改善和加强对卢旺达中学青年的宣传运动。
Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, sub-Saharan Africa is one of the regions most severely affected by the infection. In general, theater is intuitively considered as an efficient sensitization tool that can lead to a sustainable behavior change. This study evaluates the efficiency of the forum theatre in comparison with the classical HIV/AIDS sensitization method regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices of the youth in secondary schools. This research used the pre- and post-test assessment method. Two different interventions in two secondary schools in Butare were compared. During the month of May, 2005, three forum theatre interventions were performed for the students of the Butare Official Secondary School (intervention group) and two classical sensitization sessions in the Baptist Lower Seminary (control group). Observation was carried out in the following six months. The final quantitative assessment was carried out during the month of November, 2005. In total, 11 indicators were selected to serve as a basis for the comparison between the two schools. The homogeneity test showed no statistically significant difference between the two schools. Impact assessment at six months could not demonstrate statistically significant differences due to the short observation period. However, a good improvement trend for most of the indicators was observed in the intervention group as well as in the control group. The different impacts of both interventions are discussed and recommendations are made to improve and intensify sensitization campaigns for the youth in Rwandan secondary schools.
