Objective To investigate the effect of peer education on AIDS among the recruits of armed police force. Methods 417 recruits of the North China Training Base of the armed police force, all male, aged 17～23, 58.5% with the senior middle school or secondary specialized school education, about half of them being of rural origin, were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A (n=230) in which pure peer education on AIDS was carried out with squad leaders as peer educator, and group B (n=187) in which in addition to peer education with the squad leader and another recruit working as the squad peer educators health education materials were distributed and a relevant VCD was shown. The peer educators were strictly selected and trained. Questionnaire survey was conducted among the 417 recruits before and after the education. Results The AIDS knowledge rates about different items were all increased after education in both groups (all P<0.01).The attitudes towards AIDS were significantly improved in the group B. The score differences in AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and behavior were 1.02±0.09, 1.00±0.10, and 1.00±0.11 in group A and 1.07±0.08, 1.05±0.10, and 1.05±0.07 respectively (all P<0.01).Conclusion Peer education on AIDS is somewhat effective for recruits of armed police force, especially with the addition of health education materials and presentation of VCD.
