The proposed study is designed to build upon and extend prior work in Oakland junior high schools in which we developed and implemented in AIDS prevention curriculum taught by terms of trained ninth grade peer educators to seventh graders. This program had a significant impact on AIDS-related knowledge, beliefs, and social norms, and resulted in the delayed onset of sexual behaviors among sexually inexperienced students. In the next 5 years, we propose; . to test this successful model in an older, more sexually active, target population, and . to assess the impact on the peer educators of going through the training process. The first part of the project will be a quasi-experimental prospective study designed to target sexual norms, time perspective (from present to future orientation), self-efficacy, and AIDS risk behaviors. The intervention will be delivered as part of the science curriculum by ninth grade peer educators who are enrolled in a one semester elective course in peer helping. The study sites are four matched junior high schools in Oakland, CA: two assigned to participate in the intervention and two to serve as controls. All ninth grade target students in the two intervention schools will receive a six session basic sex and AIDS education curriculum taught by an adult health educator, followed by eight sessions of interactive activities delivered by volunteer peer educators. Ninth grade target students will be re-assessed in tenth grade. The second part of this proposal has a controlled randomized design and focuses on the effects of participation in the peer helping class on peer educators. Ninth grade students who have volunteered to be peer educators will be randomly assigned to either the peer helping class or to a control group. The impact of class participation on key peer educator characteristics (individuation, shyness, status as opinion leaders), HIV- related outcomes (attitudes, perceived norms, and risk behaviors), and personal benefits (academic performance, self-esteem, career plans, and time perspective) will be measured initially as well as in tenth grade. To successfully complete this project, we have obtained community support and assembled the necessary team of organizations and individuals. The study design will allow us to assess both the process of becoming a peer educator as well as the process of being a student of peer educators as interventions. The study also affords us the opportunity to attempt to identify the critical variables that make AIDS peer education effective and acceptable in inner city junior high schools.

拟议的研究旨在以先前的工作为基础并扩展 我们在奥克兰初中开发并实施了艾滋病 由训练有素的九年级同伴教育者教授的预防课程 为七年级学生干杯。这一计划对艾滋病相关人员产生了重大影响 知识、信仰和社会规范，并导致延迟发病 性经验不足的学生的性行为。在接下来的5年里 几年，我们建议； 。在年龄更大、性生活更活跃的目标身上测试这种成功的模式 人口，以及 。评估通过培训对同伴教育者的影响 进程。 该项目的第一部分将是一个准实验前景。 旨在对象性规范、时间视角的研究(从现在到 未来取向)、自我效能感和艾滋病危险行为。这个 干预将作为科学课程的一部分在9月9日之前教授 选修一学期选修课的同辈教育者 同龄人的帮助。研究地点是四所匹配的初中 加利福尼亚州奥克兰：两人被分配参加干预，两人被分配到 作为控件。两次干预中所有九年级目标学生 学校将接受六节的基础性和艾滋病教育课程 由成人健康教育者授课，随后是八节课 由志愿同伴教育者提供的互动活动。九年级 目标学生将在十年级时被重新评估。 该提案的第二部分采用受控随机设计， 重点探讨参加同伴互助班对同伴的影响。 教育工作者。自愿成为同伴教育者的九年级学生 将被随机分配到对等帮助类或控件 一群人。课堂参与对关键同伴教育者的影响 特征(个性化、害羞、意见领袖地位)、艾滋病毒- 相关结果(态度、感知规范和危险行为)，以及 个人福利(学业成绩、自尊、职业规划和 时间视角)将在最初和十年级时进行测量。至 成功完成这个项目，我们得到了社区的支持和 组建了必要的组织和个人团队。 研究设计将使我们能够评估成为一名 同伴教育者以及成为同伴教育者的学生的过程 作为干预措施。这项研究也为我们提供了尝试 确定使艾滋病同伴教育有效和有效的关键变量 在市中心的初中也可以接受。
