AB An AIDS education programme was developed and evaluated in a high school
in a socio-economically disadvantaged, urban, African area in South
Africa. The programme, which addressed the whole school community, aimed
to raise awareness about AIDS using a variety of educational methods and
operating through a number of channels. Students and teachers were
actively involved in its design and implementation. Students' knowledge
of and attitudes towards AIDS prevention were investigated before and
after the AIDS programme, and compared to a neighbouring school, in
which no AIDS education was conducted. The programme greatly improved
student knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention. It increased
levels of acceptance of people with AIDS and had a small impact on
behavioural intentions. The process of involving the school community in
the design of the AIDS education programme is discussed.
