Impact of a Theory-Based, School HIV/STD Curriculum on Eighth Graders' Attitudes and Knowledge.
Yarber, William L.; Torabi, Mohammad R.
Journal of Health Education, v28 n2 p74-81 Mar-Apr 1997
This study evaluated the efficacy of a theory-based school HIV/STD curriculum on eighth graders' HIV/STD-related attitudes and knowledge. Pretesting and posttesting of students who did and did not participate in the intervention indicated that the curriculum effectively improved HIV/STD-related attitudes but barely impacted knowledge.
