Description
Book SynopsisAs children grow up, they discover taboo areas in their environment and in life. They are in need of advice to prevent them from 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.
Trade ReviewLindner 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.
