The AIDS Challenge brings together a body of specialized knowledge about AIDS education. National and international experts present a variety of articles addressing issues related to successfully educating youth of all ages and backgrounds about HIV/AIDS. The book is designed to provide educators, professionals, parents and youth leaders with guideposts for developing and implementing programs in school and nonschool settings. The book contains 8 sections which present information on many aspects of HIV/AIDS including the human element, the factual component, prevention and education, what preschool-12 students should know, the religious setting, controversy, minority populations and special populations at risk. Each section includes chapters that provide details, explanations, insight, and analysis of specific issues associated with HIV/AIDS: community involvement, teacher training, program evaluation, legal and ethical questions and more.
