Knowledge about AIDS and Reported Risk Behaviors among Black College Students.

Thomas, Stephen B.; And Others

Journal of American College Health, v38 n2 p61-66 Sep 1989

Results of a survey of 975 undergraduates (94 percent Black) revealed that students who reported engaging in high-risk behaviors had statistically significant lower mean knowledge scores regarding AIDS than did students who reported not engaging in those same high-risk behaviors. AIDS education must focus on risk behaviors, not on risk groups. (IAH)
