 AB    The purpose of this study is to determine which of two educational
       approaches have the greater effect on the AIDS/human immunodeficiency
       virus (HIV) knowledge and attitudes of women participating in the Women,
       Infants, and Children (WIC) Program. A modified version of the Centers
       for Disease Control's (CDC) 1989 Health Risk Survey was administered to
       217 women, who were then randomly assigned to either a control group
       receiving the usual written material, a nurse-educated group, or a
       videotape-educated group. The questionnaires were repeated immediately
       after and 2 months after the intervention. Chi square, Kruskall-Wallis
       ANOVA, and a repeated measures ANOVA were used for data analysis.
       Ninety-five percent of the subjects were black and the mean age was 25.8
       years (+/- 5.9). The control group had significantly lower (p < or =
       0.003) AIDS knowledge scores at both posttests, with the lowest
       knowledge level at 2 months. The videotape group had a greater (p < or =
       0.048) intent to reduce risky behaviors at the initial posttest.
       Tolerance towards AIDS patients was significantly (p < or = 0.025)
       greater in the videotape and nurse groups. Both videotape and nurse
       education programs increased knowledge and influenced attitudes and
       behavioral intent. The more efficient videotape program had similar
       effects as the nurse program, and may be more generalizable to other
       populations.
