A questionnaire was used as a pretest and post-test to measure the effects of the intervention. The intervention consisted of 12 weekly sessions led by professionally trained peers using four different modalities: theater, group dynamics, videos, and discussions.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The difference in the knowledge scores of the questionnaire resulted in an improvement in both the private (ES=0.63) and the public (ES=0.52) schools with the intervention. Another important finding was that the idea of abstinence as disease prevention for high school students rose from 7% to 60% (public school) and from 27% to 62% (private school) in response to an open-ended question.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    There were other significant positive findings that demonstrate the efficacy of this peer-to-peer model educating high school students about lowering the risks of contracting HIV\/AIDS. This model could also be used to prevent or mitigate other risky behaviors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh.2012.020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,30]],"date-time":"2011-11-30T06:22:01Z","timestamp":1322634121000},"page":"135-141","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Educational impact of peer-intervention on the knowledge and attitudes about HIV\/AIDS in adolescents in Panama"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda G.","family":"Arambur\u00fa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Amaneceres, Panama and pediatric resident Georgetown University Hospital, WA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dora","family":"Estripeaut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease, Hospital del Ni\u00f1o, Panama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stella","family":"Rowley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease, Hospital del Ni\u00f1o, Panama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharene","family":"Smoot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease, Hospital del Ni\u00f1o, Panama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fermina","family":"Chamorro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas de Estudios en Salud, Panama, Republic of Panama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vicente","family":"Bayard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas de Estudios en Salud, Panama, Republic of Panama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_4","first-page":"150","volume":"4","author":"Arnao J","year":"2001","journal-title":"Revista Invest Psicol"},{"key":"p_8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/716100416"},{"key":"p_9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(04)00071-0","volume":"35","author":"Kirby DB","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Adolesc Health"},{"key":"p_10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(03)00331-8","volume":"34","author":"Agha S","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Adolesc Health"},{"key":"p_11","first-page":"1","author":"Kerrigan D","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ginebra, Suiza: ONUSIDA"},{"key":"p_12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2003.09.006"},{"key":"p_13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2004.09.016"},{"key":"p_14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540120220123748"},{"key":"p_20","first-page":"206","volume":"79","author":"Macchi ML","year":"2008","journal-title":"Paraguay.
