 AB    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the post-graduate educational program on AIDS
       control for public health personnel in Japan. METHODS: We asked 144
       participants to fill out questionnaires at the beginning and the end of
       this program. Questionnaire contained items about knowledge on AIDS,
       self-evaluation of knowledge on AIDS control and self-evaluation on
       accomplishment of this course's objectives. Objectives of this course
       were as follows: 1) To explain strategies for AIDS control at a meeting.
       2) To analyze AIDS related data in their own prefecture. 3) To master
       fundamental technique of AIDS counseling. RESULTS: Proportion of
       participants who accomplished objectives of this course increased
       significantly after taking this program. The proportion of participants
       of 2 week's course was higher than that of 1 week course. However,
       proportion of participants who accomplished 2nd objective was less than
       30% even at the end of this course. Knowledge on AIDS and
       self-evaluation of knowledge on AIDS control were significantly improved
       after taking this course. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: It was appeared
       that further improved instructions on analysis of AIDS related data are
       needed.
