 AB    OBJECTIVE: To disseminate AIDS awareness among adolescents in Higher
       Secondary Schools through five systematic workshops (WS). METHODS:
       WS1--Sensitization for all teachers of IX, X, XI, XII Std. with
       identification of peer educators. WS2--Specialisation for a few special
       teachers and parents through one day In-house training program.
       WS3--Demonstration by Teachers for Peer educators. WS4--Performance by
       peer educators for fellow students. WS5--Monitoring school program on
       AIDS education. RESULTS: Performance by Peer educators for fellow
       students is more effective in those schools where all four workshops are
       systematically completed. Out of 480 city schools DESH has targetted to
       cover in 3 years, one-sixth has had WS1, out of which 50 schools have
       completed all Ws4. As a result, 10 Schools have independently started
       youth movement through stage Plays/Teleplays, Exhibition, Slogans,
       Poems, Projects, Flip Charts etc and developed it as community out-reach
       efforts. DISCUSSION: Coverage of all city schools aiming at maximum
       participation and involvement within the next two years is feasible only
       if the program is incorporated in the school curriculur activities and a
       weekly period is made mandatory to cover social health education
       focusing on prevention of AIDS.
