HIV/AIDS prevention education is of prominent importance. The study venues are all care centers for orphaned or mal-adapted girls in Tehran. Eighty young girls from malfunctioning families meeting inclusion criteria, selected through convenience sampling, will participate in the study after informed consent. Consulting institute managers, ten students will be evaluated to select four peer educators who will be trained by experienced staff in 5 to 10 sessions; thereafter they will educate their peers in the case group.
Case and control groups are going to be of two different centers to prevent bias and they will be investigated to eliminate confounder effects.
Data collection will proceed through structured, valid and reliable questionnaires in pre and post-test format; from peer educators and subsequently from trainees of these educators to evaluate the efficacy of intervention.
