AB OBJECTIVES: (1) To evaluate education programs on AIDS in Hong Kong; (2)
To understand principals'/teachers' opinions on HIV infected students
and teachers' confidence in AIDS-related teaching. METHODS:
Questionnaires were sent to principals and teachers of 150 randomly
selected schools. 98 principals and 870 teachers responded. RESULTS: (1)
42% of the schools did not participate in any extra-curricular
activities, due to manpower (88%) and lack of information (61%). About
50% of principals did not know about most of the events. (2)
AIDS-related topics have been taught in 75% of the Biology classes and <
25% of the Human Biology/Social Science classes. About 30% of the
teachers thought that teaching had not been effective. (3) Resource
materials were received by 60% to 80% of the schools, utilisation rate
was about 60%. (4) 41% of the teachers and 51% of the principals thought
that HIV-infected students should be kept in normal classes; 31% of
principals and 23% of teachers would like to have them identified.
Teachers' knowledge on AIDS was associated with attitude towards normal
schooling. (5) About 1/2 of the teachers did not feel confident to
present accurate information about AIDS or condom usage, such is
associated with knowledge on AIDS (r = 0.307, p < 0.001). (6) Teachers'
knowledge on AIDS were high on average. Some misconception about
transmission via mosquito bites (50%), kissing (50%) and coughing (25%)
however, still exist. DISCUSSIONS: (1) Information circulation may be
strengthened: (2) Teachers should be educated to become more supportive
of HIV students and able in AIDS teaching, increasing knowledge may be
effective; (3) The present format of education programs should be
assessed critically.
