Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of developing participatory education of AIDS prevention among medical college
students. Methods: Clinical medicine students in two classes were randomly selected and the changes before and after training were
analyzed through the questionnaire survey. Results: The subjects were（19.04±0.80）years old, and 476 effective questionnaires were
collected before and after training. Scores of AIDS knowledge, attitude and behavior before training were（12.20 ± 2.89）,（5.07 ± 1.87）,
（10.71±3.33）; and scores rising to（14.22±1.16）,（12.99±1.73）,（13.28±1.54）（P<0.05）after training. AIDS awareness was 62.6%
before training, and 98.7%（P<0.05）after training. Conclusion: It is feasible to carry out participatory education among medical
students, and implementation of peer education with it can further improve and develop the participatory education.
