Findings from a statewide assessment of knowledge, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control of teachers in Alabama concerning comprehensive HIV prevention education will be presented. Attendees will gain an understanding of variables of influence on the intention to teach HIV education. State-wide and community advocacy, collaboration, partnerships, needs assessment, youth involvement, knowledge of state policy, and a cadre of "champions" are all necessary for successfully implementing a comprehensive, research-based sexuality program in your community.
