The Handbook for Evaluating HIV Education - Booklet 3

Appraising an HIV Curriculum

Guideline 4: An HIV curriculum should be evaluated primarily on the basis of its impact on students.

Although Guideline 2 emphasized the importance of appraising the internal characteristics of an HIV curriculum in order to form a preliminary estimate of the curriculum's likely effectiveness, this fourth guideline reminds us that, in the end, the consequences of a curriculum's usage must determine the curriculum's effectiveness.

Thus, attention must be given to ascertaining the effect of an HIV curriculum on students' knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors. In the initial booklet in this handbook, Evaluating HIV Education Programs, suggestions are offered for gauging the impact of an HIV curriculum on students.
