John Petraitis

Bruce Johnson

This article describes the implementation and evaluation of an HIV education seminar for adult probation officers (POs) in Cook County (Chicago). The seminar consisted of medical and legal topics, and was presented by an experienced educator. Pre- and postseminar measures of effectiveness were examined. Results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge about HIV and a significant decrease in their fear of HIV. Suggestions are offered regarding the future implementation of HIV seminars for POs.
