This study was undertaken as a dissertation in partial fulfilment for the ward of a Master's Degree in International Health. It aimed at getting baseline data on Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs and Practices in regard to HIV/AIDS among the multinational refugee population of Nakivale Camp in Mbarara District of South Western Uganda. The rationale behind the study was to use the findings in designing and/or redesigning appropriate intervention strategies with the view to controlling and preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS in this vulnerable population. This study was designed with basically five salient and specific objectives: a) To assess the level of correct knowledge about HIV/AIDS among the refugees and determine whether there is any difference in the various nationalities in Nakivale camp. b) To find out whether the refugees in Nakivale camp have any negative attitudes towards the HIV/AIDS disease and the people living with HIV/AIDS. c) To ascertain if refugees have any specific beliefs, true or false, about HIV/AIDS. d) To find out whether refugees in this multinational setting indulge in practices that could predispose them to, or protect them from, acquiring HIV/AIDS. e) To explore the various sources of HIV/AIDS information available to the refugees and find out whether they are utilising these sources. To address these objectives, a cross sectional study was carried out in Nakivale Camp in November/December 2001. A total of 325 respondents, 160 males and 165 females, were selected from randomly selected households. Data was collected using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative technique involved administering a structured Questionnaire while qualitative technique used Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions. [Author p. 10-11]
