Distrust of Whites, Acculturation, and AIDS Knowledge among African Americans.

Klonoff, Elizabeth A.; Landrine, Hope

Journal of Black Psychology, v23 n1 p50-57 Feb 1997

Explored the relationships among acculturation, distrust of Whites, and AIDS knowledge for 171 African American adults. Results suggest that African American knowledge of AIDS transmission may be affected by distrust of Whites, with those who know the least about AIDS being the most distrustful. Implications for AIDS education are discussed. (SLD)
