A study conducted by Siegel D, Lazarus N, Krasnovsky
F, Durbin M, Chesney M. Depts. of Epidemiology,
University of California, San Francisco, to gain
information about AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and
behavior of junior high school students, 1,967 students in
three junior high schools in an inner city school district
were surveyed. Ages of the participants ranged from 11-16
years. The findings support the possibility that improving
knowledge about HIV transmission would result in more
tolerance toward students with HIV infection and would
result in less high-risk behavior.
