Abstract:

This article descnbes an effective, cost-effective, and replicable model for HIV/AIDS education and prevention in Jewish settings. The AIDS Education and Training Program, which reached over 2,400 individuals in the 1991 program year, has resulted in increased awareness of HIV/AIDS in the community, particularly among teenagers, and has fostered the implementation of appropriate organizational policies on HIV/AIDS. Its research component has enabled the refining of curricular approaches to meet unmet needs.
