| dc.description.abstract | AIDS awareness instrument, to determine its validity and test its reliability, and to use it to measure HIV/AIDS awareness of Texas Woman's University undergraduate students. The revised test, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Awareness Questionnaire (HAAQ), was determined to be valid by a panel of experts. Reliability coefficient was .88 using Cronbach's Alpha. Analysis of data obtained from 231 subjects queried as to HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors indicated that a "high percentage" of respondents, ranging from 73.5% to 87.2%, answered correctly the knowledge items. Attitudes , varied: they ranged from 67.5% to 93.5% positive responses. Behaviors did not reflect the responses indicated in the knowledge and attitude sections in regard to perceived risk; in some cases, they were in direct contradiction. | en_US |
