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.

拟议的研究旨在建立和扩展以前的工作， 我们在奥克兰的初中制定并实施了艾滋病 由经过培训的九年级同伴教育者讲授预防课程 到七年级。 该计划对艾滋病相关的 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。 未来5 年，我们建议; . 在一个年龄更大性行为更活跃的目标身上测试这个成功的模型 人口和 . 评估培训对同伴教育者的影响 过程 该项目的第一部分将是一个准实验性的前景 针对性规范、时间观念（从现在到 未来取向）、自我效能感和艾滋病危险行为。 的 干预将作为科学课程的一部分， 年级同伴教育者谁是在一个学期的选修课程注册， 同伴互助 研究地点为台北市四所国中学校， 奥克兰，加利福尼亚州：两个被分配参加干预，两个被分配参加干预。 作为对照。 所有九年级目标学生在两次干预中 学校将接受六节基本的性和艾滋病教育课程 由一名成人健康教育工作者讲授，随后进行八次会议， 志愿同伴教育者开展的互动活动。 九年级 目标学生将在十年级重新评估。 该提案的第二部分采用了受控随机设计， 重点研究了同伴互助课堂参与对同伴关系的影响 教育工作者 九年级学生自愿成为同伴教育者 将被随机分配到同伴帮助班或对照班 组 课堂参与对核心同伴教育者的影响 特征（个性化，害羞，作为意见领袖的地位），艾滋病毒- 相关结果（态度、认知规范和风险行为），以及 个人福利（学习成绩、自尊、职业规划和 时间观念）将在最初和十年级进行衡量。 到 成功完成这项计划，我们得到了社会的支持， 组建了必要的组织和个人团队。 这项研究设计将使我们能够评估成为一个 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。 这项研究还使我们有机会尝试 确定使艾滋病同伴教育有效的关键变量， 在市中心的初中可以接受。
