Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, young people aged 18 to 25 are at a significant risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and other STIs (sexually transmitted infections). Primary developmental processes that place college students particularly at risk include the experience of intimacy, sexual desires and the centrality of the peer group. During these routine developmental processes, college students experiment with unprotected sex, multiple sex partners and alcohol and illicit drugs, all of which are contributing risk factors for HIV/STI infections. Early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV and other STIs is germane to promoting the sexual health of college students and reducing high HIV/STI infection rates among young people. This edited volume will provide innovative and cutting-edge approaches to prevention for college students and will have a major impact on advancing the interdisciplinary fields of higher education and public health. It will explore core ideas such as hooking up culture, sexual violence, LGBT and students of color, as well as HIV and STI prevention in community colleges, rural colleges and minority serving institutions.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sub-Saharan Africa region has been more severely affected by AIDS than any other part of the world. The United Nations reported that 26.6 million adults and children are infected with the HIV virus in this region, which has about 10% of the world's population but two thirds of the worldwide total of infected people. The overall rate of infection among adults in Sub-Saharan Africa is 7.5%-8.5%, compared with 1.1% worldwide. AIDS has surpassed malaria as the leading cause of death in Africa and it kills many times more Africans than war. Experts relate the severity of the African AIDS epidemic to the region's poverty. The annual domestic and international expenditure on HIV/AIDS program in Nigeria has been estimated at over $US 400 million, most of which are donated by international and local bilateral government and non-governmental organizations. For most of these expenditures, the evaluation criteria for measuring effectiveness are enshrined in annual percentage changes among adults and children with advanced HIV infection receiving antiretroviral therapy; among women and men who returned for their test results after receiving HIV test; among adults aged 15-49 who reported the use of condom during their last intercourse, or among men reporting the use of condom the last time they had anal sex with a male partner. There are, however, very minimal evaluation reports of the hundreds of education, information, and services developed and implemented by various entities within the social societies in the country to change attitude, behavior or enhance knowledge of Nigerian communities about the disease. This study, therefore, developed a primary purpose to demonstrate that properly planned and carefully executed awareness training programs could, possibly, provide positive effects on the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of young college students regarding HIV/AIDS. A secondary purpose assembled, through literature research, a body of evidence-based knowledge and expenditures on HIV/AIDS that will foster greater awareness among health care providers and other authorities in Nigeria about the importance of evaluation in the arsenals of tools to combat the spread of the disease. Although the three null hypotheses of the study that participation in a HIV/AIDS awareness training program will not improve the attitude, knowledge and behavior of participants after participation in the program were statistically vindicated, the study provided enough evidence-based information to alert government and non-governmental stake holders that the international flow of funds for HIV/AIDS will not continue indefinitely. The three null hypotheses of the study that participation in HIV/AIDS awareness training program will not improve the attitude, knowledge and behavior of participants after participation in the program were statistically accepted. There were, however, percentage changes in participants' pre- and post- intervention knowledge, attitude and behavior data demonstrating that the training did have some positive effects on participants. Recommendations were made about the importance of program evaluations to assess effectiveness, and avoid replicating ineffective programs. Pitfalls to avoid when conducting this type of evaluation especially as an external evaluator were also highlighted.

The subjects consisted of 59 Springfield College students pursuing degrees in either the Education or Rehabilitation programs.
