The action-research consists of: building an institutional framework in order to ensure the decision-making for the project by consensus, the selection and training of peers; carrying a survey before and after the intervention in the 3 pilot and the 3 control schools. Results in May 89 emphasizes: the relevance and urgency of the prevention of AIDS in secondary schools; the importance of the institutional aspect for the continuity of the project; the involvement of the pupils and the trainers for the processus; the feasibility of an intervention using only local resources. There is still three months to wait to know if this method is relevant for the prevention of AIDS.
