Abstract

A 12-hour training program was designed and pilot tested on 46 staff from three methadone maintenance and detoxification clinics. Also, 525 clients enrolled in a methadone clinic completed a questionnaire assessing their knowledge of AIDS and then participated in an AIDS education program. The staff and the patients had a high level of pretraining knowledge of AIDS. Both groups showed marginal improvement following education.
