Abstract
Journalists more commonly than other professionals may be able to transmit complex scientific information about HIV/AIDS in a language that is understood by the general public. This premise led to establishment of a journalist-to-journalist (J2J) HIV/AIDS training program as a component of the International AIDS Conference in Barcelona in 2002. We were asked to evaluate the J2J program in order to assess the suitability of the curriculum content and didactic quality (process evaluation) and explore the effects of the program on journalists reporting of HIV/ AIDS (outcome evaluation). We also wished to assess journalists perceptions as to how their training impacted coverage of HIV/AIDS and determine whether the program had helped to better inform communities about truths (and nontruths) regarding HIV/AIDS.
