Abstract: The researchers examined the attitudes of college undergraduates toward persons diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and their knowledge of these medical conditions. The subjects consisted of 59 Springfield College students pursuing degrees in either the Education or Rehabilitation programs. All participants were enrolled in their junior year at the time of the study. Knowledge of HIV/AIDS and attitudes toward persons with HIV/AIDS were measured using questions adapted from the Survey on HIV/AIDS (Gray & Harding, 1990).

There hasn't been a resource to inform readers about the HIV risk confronting our adolescent population--until now! In Adolescents and AIDS, leading researchers in health, medicine, sociology, and psychology describe the risks to this vulnerable population. Divided into three parts (epidemiology, prevention/risk reduction, and policy), this comprehensive book addresses not only adolescents in general, but includes specific chapters on high-risk populations such as minority, incarcerated and homeless youth. The authors explore the data and theoretical underpinnings necessary for designing and implementing effective risk-reduction and prevention programs by approaching the AIDS epidemic as a social and developmental crisis that adolescents are ill-prepared to address. While proposing appropriate theoretical models for behavior change, the book also evaluates the effectiveness of various intervention strategies ranging from school-based programs to mass-media approaches and offers public policy recommendations for intervening for this population. Health professionals, researchers, policy analysts, clinicians, counselors, and students will find this timely text a valuable resource.
