Abstract
ABSTRACT Military veterans in a residential program for home-lessness and substance dependence (n = 161) received education regarding Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) via interactive videodisc or a didactic class. Knowledge about AIDS and STDs increased with both methods, with no difference found between methods for either course. Similarly, with both methods, attitude ratings reflected some increased tolerance towards persons with AIDS. Participants rated both courses highly, with no clear preference indicated for either method. Although some problems exist with interactive multimedia technology (e.g., variable quality of software), it appears to be a viable method for educating high-risk patients about AIDS and STDs.
