Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of an AIDS/STD curriculum for 9th- and 10th-grade students in the Netherlands. Curriculum development was based on (1) theory-based need assessments among students and teachers, (2) pilot testing of data-based and theory-based methods and materials, and (3) cooperation between researchers and students, teachers, and gatekeepers within the school system. Using a quasi-experimental design, program effects on students' attitudes, beliefs, and sexual behavior were compared with those of current AIDS/STD education practice. The results indicated that the experimental curriculum had a stronger favorable impact on students' attitudes and beliefs regarding using condoms consistently. Regarding sexual risk behavior, a differential curriculum effect could be demonstrated. These findings support the contention that current AIDS/STD education can be improved by (1) using empirical data, (2) applying multiple theories from the social sciences, and (3) involving representatives within the school system in the development process.

荷兰中学生艾滋病/性病教育的有计划发展和评价:短期效果。

本研究评估了爱滋病/性病课程对荷兰九年级和十年级学生的影响。课程开发基于(1)基于理论的学生和教师需求评估，(2)基于数据和基于理论的方法和材料的试点测试，以及(3)研究人员与学校系统内的学生、教师和看门人之间的合作。采用准实验设计，比较项目对学生态度、信念和性行为的影响与现行艾滋病/性病教育实践的影响。结果表明，实验课程对学生持续使用避孕套的态度和信念有较强的有利影响。对于性危险行为，差异课程效应可以被证明。这些发现支持了以下观点，即当前的艾滋病/性病教育可以通过:(1)利用实证数据，(2)运用社会科学的多种理论，(3)在发展过程中让学校系统内的代表参与进来。
