AB OBJECTIVES: To enhance the development of positive attitude on HIV/AIDS
and sex behaviour (change) among youth through participation. METHODS:
Youth groups from Non-government organizations and schools were invited
to submit their proposals on HIV/AIDS publicity and public education to
the Working Group on Youth under the local coordinating body in Hong
Kong. Proposals were then screened and the relevant areas selected for
approval. All approved programmes were granted an amount of not more
than HK$5,000. Youth groups implement their projects as proposed, and
sent reports to the working group. The best organized programmes were
awarded in cash. Later, youth leaders participating in the projects were
further involved in a youth network. RESULTS: The number of
participating youth groups increased gradually from 4 in 1991 to 12 in
1992, then to 20 in 1993. The impact of their projects on HIV/AIDS
education for the community increased gradually. The domain of service
receipts increased over the years as well. Evaluation of the projects
revealed that the youth members in the groups were benefited by gaining
knowledge themselves and reviewing their own sex attitude. DISCUSSION
AND CONCLUSION: (1) Small group participation is a relatively effective
means in bringing about attitude changes. (than mass media at times).
(2) Networking can best be done through involving the participation from
youth. (3) Education activities through small groups have the advantage
of disseminating details about knowledge and practical information.
