A Case Study of the California Community Colleges' AIDS Policies, Guidelines, and Services for Students, Faculty and Staff.
Carraway, Cassandra Todd
A study was conducted to determine the current Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) policies, educational programs, and services for students, faculty, and staff in the 106 California community colleges; to predict the impact AIDS education and related services are likely to have on the colleges; to recommend appropriate action for the Los Angeles Community College District; and to develop an AIDS resource guide. Questionnaires were sent to the health services coordinator or director of institutional research and planning at all California community colleges. Study findings, based on a 100% response rate, included the following: (1) 32% of the colleges had received AIDS guidelines from the American College Health Association and had discussed them with faculty and staff; (2) 26% had developed AIDS policies and guidelines; (3) 64% offered referral services, 52% had an AIDS resource center, 34% had a telephone information service, 51% offered individual consultations, 9% offered training for campus leaders, 42% engaged in outreach, and 66% conducted special campus events; (4) although all colleges perceived a need to offer AIDS education for the campus community, only 50% of the colleges had offered AIDS seminars/workshops for faculty and staff, 28% provided counseling geared specifically to at-risk groups, and 12% had adjusted counseling services; and (5) while only 19 colleges offered screening and testing for AIDS on campus, 75% provided referrals to medical centers. An extensive literature review, a 69-item bibliography, a guide to information and organizational resources, and the survey instrument are included. (EJV)
