Beschreibung

We can be assured that as children grow up and become a new adult generation, they will discover not only approved areas but also taboo areas in their environment and in life itself. In this timeframe they will be most in need of advice and supervision to prevent them from inadvertently placing themselves in risky situations. The primary preventive approach to a life skills programme on HIV/AIDS and sex education, called “Child Mind Project”, can be seen as such an initiative.

Lindner evaluates a program in South Africa to educate children about HIV at about 10-11 years old, before they become sexually active. Using social cognitive theory, she evaluates the outcome, the process, and the needs, and verifies a significant increase in knowledge about the disease by participants in the program.
