Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs of African Americans in the Central Valley Concerning HIV/AIDS

Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that African Americans in the Central Valley of California had concerning the topic of HIV/AIDS. The primary questions of this study were: 1) What factors do African Americans believe contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic? and 2) How do African Americans feel about a culturally specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program? This study used a quantitative design and collected data by way of an electronic survey via Qualtrics and hard copy form. The survey consisted of forty-two questions that were divided into 5 specific parts: medical history, knowledge of HIV/AIDS and sex education, attitudes beliefs, and demographics. A total of fifty-nine participants, with an age range of 18 to 70+, completed the survey. In general, participants demonstrated knowledge on the topic of HIV/AIDS but had slightly conflicting attitudes and beliefs regarding testing and being aware of the HIV status of their partners. The results concluded that African Americans in the Central Valley believe that factors such as drugs, poverty, lack of sex education, stigma, limited access to health care, incarceration, racism and discrimination, are all daily issues that place African Americans at risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS. The results also show that a majority of participants have positive feelings towards the implementation of a cultural specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program.

Category : Dissertations, Academic
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
In 2005, more than 25 million adults and children worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS and more than 75% of these were in sub-Saharan Africa. Studies indicate that the incidence of HIV infection and the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among young populations continue to rise in developing countries. AIDS has severe economic impacts, especially in high-risk countries such as Nigeria. This project used secondary data from the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The 2003 NDHS is a cross-sectional, multistage, stratified survey with systematic sampling that was designed to obtain information on key population and health indicators such as sexual activity, knowledge about AIDS and other STDs, and behavior associated with AIDS and other STDs for the entire Nigerian population, including people living in rural areas, urban areas, and six major geographic regions. Analyses were restricted to sexually active adolescents and young adults 15 to 24 years of age who are Nigerians living in Nigeria in 2003. The sample size was (n=2,418), of which 2,009 are females and 409 are males. Non-Nigerians and Nigerians in Diaspora were excluded in the original design of the survey. Also, those younger than 15 years or older than 24 years were excluded in this study. This research examined the association between independent variables and other covariates with risky sexual behaviors such as lack of condom use and multiple sex partners, as well as possible difference by gender. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using multivariate logistic regression models, adjusting for age, education and religion. All tests were done at 95% significant leve. l-- Abstract.
