这项研究调查了居住在中西部一座大城市郊区高风险社区的853名7、8和9年级学生对艾滋病患者（PWA）的态度。女性似乎比男性更宽容，白人似乎比其他种族/族裔群体对PWA的态度更宽容。虽然有关人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）传播的实际模式的知识与对PWAs的态度不相关，但对HIV传播有更多了解的学生，通过偶然接触传播HIV，通过血液制品传播HIV，预防HIV感染的方法，以及关于HIV预防的神话，对PWAs的态度更加宽容。有过性行为的学生对PWA的容忍度明显较低。这些研究结果的青年艾滋病教育的影响。
This study examines attitudes toward people with AIDS (PWAs) of a group of 853 7th, 8th, and 9th graders living in high-risk communities in the suburbs of a large Midwestern city. Females appear to be more tolerant than males, and whites appear to be more tolerant than other racial/ethnic groups with respect to attitudes toward PWAs. Although knowledge about actual modes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is not correlated with attitudes toward PWAs, students with greater knowledge about HIV transmission through casual contact, transmission of HIV through blood products, ways of preventing HIV infection, and myths about HIV prevention have more tolerant attitudes toward PWAs. Students who have ever had sexual intercourse are significantly less tolerant of PWAs. Implications of these findings for youth AIDS education are presented.
