AIDS Education: Reaching Populations at Higher Risk

Author: United States General Accounting Office
Date Published: 1988


Report that discusses lessons learned from previous public-health research that may be applied to AIDS education. GAO staff members reviewed the existing literature on AIDS and public health education and conducted on-site analyses of AIDS education campaigns now under way in the five U.S. cities hardest hit by AIDS. This synthesis of the GAO's findings takes the form of a seven-factor model, illustrated with examples from AIDS campaigns. The model makes explicit the importance of providing actual risk reduction skills and motivators, factors critical to prevention but not adequately emphasized in many of the AIDS prevention models now available.
