The proposed study is designed to build upon and extend prior work in Oakland junior high schools in which we developed and implemented in AIDS prevention curriculum taught by terms of trained ninth grade peer educators to seventh graders. This program had a significant impact on AIDS-related knowledge, beliefs, and social norms, and resulted in the delayed onset of sexual behaviors among sexually inexperienced students. In the next 5 years, we propose; . to test this successful model in an older, more sexually active, target population, and . to assess the impact on the peer educators of going through the training process. The first part of the project will be a quasi-experimental prospective study designed to target sexual norms, time perspective (from present to future orientation), self-efficacy, and AIDS risk behaviors. The intervention will be delivered as part of the science curriculum by ninth grade peer educators who are enrolled in a one semester elective course in peer helping. The study sites are four matched junior high schools in Oakland, CA: two assigned to participate in the intervention and two to serve as controls. All ninth grade target students in the two intervention schools will receive a six session basic sex and AIDS education curriculum taught by an adult health educator, followed by eight sessions of interactive activities delivered by volunteer peer educators. Ninth grade target students will be re-assessed in tenth grade. The second part of this proposal has a controlled randomized design and focuses on the effects of participation in the peer helping class on peer educators. Ninth grade students who have volunteered to be peer educators will be randomly assigned to either the peer helping class or to a control group. The impact of class participation on key peer educator characteristics (individuation, shyness, status as opinion leaders), HIV- related outcomes (attitudes, perceived norms, and risk behaviors), and personal benefits (academic performance, self-esteem, career plans, and time perspective) will be measured initially as well as in tenth grade. To successfully complete this project, we have obtained community support and assembled the necessary team of organizations and individuals. The study design will allow us to assess both the process of becoming a peer educator as well as the process of being a student of peer educators as interventions. The study also affords us the opportunity to attempt to identify the critical variables that make AIDS peer education effective and acceptable in inner city junior high schools.

拟议的研究旨在建立和扩展先前的工作 我们在奥克兰初中制定并实施了艾滋病防治工作 由经过培训的九年级同伴教育者教授预防课程 到七年级学生。 该计划对艾滋病相关问题产生了重大影响 知识、信仰和社会规范，并导致延迟发作 缺乏性经验的学生的性行为。 在接下来的5 年，我们提议； 。 在年龄更大、性行为更活跃的目标中测试这个成功的模型 人口，以及 。 评估参加培训对同伴教育者的影响 过程。 该项目的第一部分将是一个准实验性的前景 旨在针对性规范、时间视角（从现在到 未来导向）、自我效能和艾滋病风险行为。 这 干预措施将作为科学课程的一部分在第九届会议上提供 参加一学期选修课程的年级同伴教育工作者 同伴帮助。 学习地点为四所匹配的初中 加利福尼亚州奥克兰：两名被分配参加干预，两名被分配 作为控制。 两次干预中所有九年级目标学生 学校将接受六节基本性和艾滋病教育课程 由成人健康教育者授课，随后进行八节课程 由同伴教育志愿者开展的互动活动。 九年级 目标学生将在十年级时重新评估。 该提案的第二部分采用受控随机设计， 重点关注参与同伴互助课程对同伴的影响 教育工作者。 自愿成为同伴教育者的九年级学生 将被随机分配到同伴帮助班或对照组 团体。 课堂参与对关键同伴教育者的影响 特征（个性化、​​害羞、意见领袖的地位）、HIV- 相关结果（态度、感知规范和风险行为），以及 个人利益（学业成绩、自尊、职业规划和 时间视角）将在最初以及十年级时进行测量。 到 顺利完成这个项目，我们得到了社会各界的支持和支持 组建了必要的组织和个人团队。 研究设计将使我们能够评估成为一名 同伴教育者以及成为同伴教育者的学生的过程 作为干预措施。 这项研究还为我们提供了尝试的机会 确定使艾滋病同伴教育有效的关键变量，并 内城区初中可以接受。
