Most women in Bas-Zaire lack awareness of AIDS risk, hindering behavior change. Education and marital status influenced perceived risk among women aged 25-29.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remains a significant global health challenge.
  • Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) is crucial for effective AIDS prevention strategies.
  • The AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM) provides a framework for analyzing behavioral change factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding AIDS in Bas-Zaire.
  • To identify barriers to behavior change using the AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM).
  • To explore demographic factors associated with perceived AIDS risk.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 5,494 women across urban and rural sites in Bas-Zaire.
  • Application of the AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM) for data analysis.

  • Comparison of findings with existing KAP studies in Zaire.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant portion of women surveyed did not perceive themselves at risk for AIDS, indicating a barrier to the initial stage of the ARRM.
    • Women aged 25-29, those with education, and married women reported higher perceived risk.
    • Findings highlight a gap in risk perception compared to other KAP studies in the region.

    Conclusions:

    • Substantial barriers exist in motivating behavior change for AIDS prevention in Bas-Zaire.
    • Targeted interventions are needed to increase risk perception among women.
    • Demographic factors play a role in perceived AIDS risk, informing public health policy.
