Evaluated a school-based HIV/AIDS-prevention intervention for adolescents delivered either by community-health nurses or trained peer educators. Following the interventions, intervention and control-group students completed questionnaires measuring HIV/AIDS-prevention knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions. Data analysis indicated that both interventions resulted in improved scores when compared to the scores of control-group students. (SM)
