[Information to young people about HIV/AIDS and drug abuse. A study of the knowledge and use of the information material in the youth center in Copenhagen].
A mailed questionnaire was carried out in the city of Copenhagen in which the leaders of 106 youth centres expressed their opinion on different publications concerning drug abuse and HIV/AIDS. The knowledge of the publications among the leaders was less than expected. The last known publication was recognized by 7% of the leaders, the most well known by 55%. A considerable part of the leaders stated that they had never received the publications. In centres where the leaders knew of the publications they were widely used, most often in centres for older members. A group of leaders stated, that the publications were irrelevant for members aged 9-14 years. The study points out specific problems in the health educations process: The publication should aim more specifically at the group and at subpopulations in the group. The distribution should be secured and the knowledge of the supply of health education material among the leaders of the youth centres should be raised.
