这项研究的目的是评估一项旨在对居住在北佛罗里达州农村的非裔美国青少年进行性传播感染/艾滋病毒教育的试点计划，并比较同伴主导的基于信仰的艾滋病毒教育计划和成人主导的艾滋病毒教育计划的有效性。在控制年龄和前测知识分数的情况下，成人组在后测中的知识总分显著高于青少年组。对于成人领导的小组，参与者感染艾滋病毒的感知风险也显著增加。两组之间显著的前测差异在后测时缩小。这项先导性研究有可能为未来非裔美国青年提供基于信仰的干预措施，利用同龄人领袖就艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题进行教育和宣传。
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a pilot program designed to educate African American adolescents living in rural, North Florida about STIs/HIV and to compare the effectiveness of peer- and adult-led faith-based, HIV educational programs. Controlling for age and pretest knowledge scores, the summed knowledge score was significantly higher at posttest for the adult-led group than the teen-led group. Participants' perceived risk of acquiring HIV also increased significantly for the adult-led group. Significant pretest differences between the two groups narrowed at posttest. This pilot study has the potential to inform future, faith-based interventions for African American youth that utilize peer leaders to educate and conduct outreach on HIV/AIDS issues.
