Two studies describe the effectiveness of AIDS prevention programmes by lay health advisors (LHAs) for migrants in The Netherlands. Both programs result in positive effects in terms of attitude change and knowledge. The LHA programme resulted in a stronger intention to discuss AIDS with children. There is evidence that LHA programmes are more successful in inducing internally motivated intentions to safe sex practices.
