The book examines the content and method of AIDS education programmes nationally and synthesizes the collective wisdom of more than 130 AIDS educators. The book uses case histories of both successful and unsuccessful efforts to offer practical guidelines for assessing needs, developing materials, building coalitions, and evaluating success. It summarizes the past seven years experience in AIDS education and provides a framwork for making decisions. It addresses the special challenges of working with specific populations, including gay and bisexual males, IV drug users, African-Americans, Latinos, women, youth, prisoners, haemophiliacs, developmentally disabled people, and the homeless.
