Mexican-American and Anglo-American Children's Responsiveness to a Theory-Centered AIDS Education Program.

Sigelman, Carol; And Others

Child Development, v67 n2 p253-66 Apr 1996

Introduced third-, fifth-, seventh-graders to an empirically based and culturally sensitive AIDS curriculum. Posttest and follow-up (11 months later) results indicated that, compared with students in control classes, subjects knew more about AIDS risk factors and AIDS generally, displayed more conceptual understanding of causes, and were more willing to interact with AIDS victims.
