SucheStudies
The Federal Centre for Health Education endeavours to make its work as effective as possible. To achieve this goal, there is a need to constantly improve education activities and continuously review the success of the measures.
It is for this reason that we regularly conduct studies.
They make it possible
- To gear the planning and implementation of education measures in the various subject fields to the latest scientific findings,
- To examine whether our measures really do achieve the targeted, health-promoting effects.
Although the questions and the results of these studies therefore always have a direct link to the work of BZgA, they also contain a wealth of information that can be used by the interested public, and particularly by people and institutions working in the field of health prevention.
Consequently, all the studies conducted by BZgA are published.
The studies and evaluation results from the field of sex education, contraception and family planning can be found at: www.forschung.sexualaufklaerung.de

Public Awareness of AIDS in the Federal Republic of Germany 2003
Knowledge, attitudes and behaviour relating to protection against AIDS
A repeat survey by the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA), Cologne
Since the start of the AIDS education campaign in 1987, the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) has examined the effect of AIDS prevention on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of the public regarding HIV and AIDS. To this end, it conducts the annual representative survey "Public Awareness of AIDS" among the general public over the age of 16 in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Specifically, the survey examines the degree to which
- education measures reach the public,
- the knowledge necessary for protection against HIV infection spreads,
- people protect themselves against sexual transmission of the virus by using condoms,
- persons with HIV and AIDS are seen as people who need attention and help and should not be isolated by society.
The present summary contains the key results of the latest survey, which was completed at the end of 2003. They are presented together with their longer-term trends, either for the general public as a whole or for subgroups of particular importance for prevention, primarily meaning 16 to 44 year-old singles.
A detailed report on the results can be requested from the Federal Centre for Health Education or downloaded from the Internet.
