3 Background Current trend in HIV/AIDS and patterns of sexual behavior among adolescents Rural adolescents (what is already known) Current scenario with regards to prevention efforts Objective & Research Questions Method Results Study subjects Study design and instruments Recruitment Data analysis Demographics Descriptive statistics on individual items of the questionnaire Comparison on knowledge levels Discussion Strengths & Limitations Community-University partnership: processes and challenges Conclusions & Implications
4 By the end of 2008, roughly 70 thousand people in years age group were living with HIV infection in the USA According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USA Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) among high school students in 2011, nearly half (47%) ever had sexual intercourse; approximately one-third (34%) had sexual intercourse with at least one person during the 3 months before the survey; two-fifth (40%) did not use a condom during last sexual intercourse; just less than one-fifth (15%) have had four or more sex partners; and 6% had sexual intercourse for the first time before age 13 years

6 Figure 2. Estimated rate of HIV infection cases among adolescents in the United States ( ); (data source: CDC)
7 Rural adolescents (what is already known) were more than twice as likely to be sexually active and had higher levels of sexual risk taking than their urban peers were found to engage in HIV/AIDS risk behaviors as frequently as lower socio-economic minority youths in large urban areas in a representative sample of rural adolescents who were sexually active, more than two-thirds had one sex partner in the last 3 months about one-third were found to engage in STD/HIV related sexual risk behaviors (no condom use during the last sexual intercourse and having multiple sex partners in the last 3 months) were found to have inadequate knowledge about HIV/AIDS however, very few HIV/AIDS prevention interventions are targeted towards adolescents in rural communities
8 Current scenario (prevention efforts towards rural adolescents) School-based sex and HIV/AIDS education Has the ability to reach a large population of adolescents Structured education and has the potential to increase adolescents knowledge However, not all schools implement the program with fidelity; therefore, quality of the program across schools may vary North Carolina It is not known how uniformly it is implemented across schools Rural schools may lack resources (e.g. expertise) Rural communities are often considered to hold conservative values which may pose an obstacle to discussions about sex openly or in public Providing detailed information about HIV/AIDS and its prevention is not emphasized in the lesson plan for younger adolescents Therefore, rural adolescents in North Carolina may not have sufficient knowledge about HIV/AIDS
9
10 Objective To compare knowledge levels of 7th grade rural students in North Carolina (NC), USA before ( pre-test ) and after ( posttest ) the Youth Health Summit (YHS) Research questions Did the pre-test and the post-test groups differ in their levels of knowledge about HIV/AIDS? Did the pre-test and the post-test groups differ in their levels of knowledge about modes of transmission of HIV/AIDS?
11 Participants 7 th grade students living in rural southeastern North Carolina Study design Pre-test questionnaire Youth Health Summit Post-test questionnaire Youth Health Summit Setting: Campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington Organizer: Associate Dean, School of Nursing A variety of interactive methods Keynote speech by a nationally recognized health educator- Used NC HIV/AIDS Curriculum combined with interactive and motivational topics including: goal setting, peer pressure, HIV AIDS Knowledge, decisions making, consequences of risky behaviors Poster exhibition health professionals and community agencies Small group lectures and three break-out sections
12 Questionnaire Knowledge of HIV/AIDS : 12 items Knowledge of Modes of Transmission of HIV/AIDS: 18 items (Four point scale: yes, no, not sure, and don t understand) Opinion about prevention methods, health topics of interest, information sources Recruitment Flyers sent to 22 schools in rural areas Parental permission forms Signed permission forms pre-test questionnaire to students Gift pack: notebooks, pens, t-shirts, and program details Venue for the YHS University campus
13 Data analysis Descriptive statistics Composite knowledge score T-test for independent samples: 2 groups Oneway ANOVA: more than 2 groups Prevention methods Chi-squared test Reliability of the questionnaire: Chronbach s Alpha Figure3: Groups compared on knowledge levels

20 Opinion about prevention methods: Between pre and post-test groups using 2 test Prevention methods Pre-test group % (n) Post-test group % (n) Abstinence 41(54) 56 (87) Education/information 20 (27) 12 (18) Personal protection 14 (19) 15 (23) Other 25 (33) 17 (27) Note: p<0.031; total, n for pre-test group=133; total, n for post-test group=155 The groups differed significantly; preference for abstinence went up by 15% Reliability of the questionnaire Only a few factors, identified by Exploratory Factor Analysis, yielded acceptable level of alpha (>=0.7)
21 Strengths Includes rural adolescents who had not been adequately represented in prior HIV/AIDS prevention The sample diverse in terms of ethnicity Sample size moderate Limitations Limited generalizability: only those in schools Only tracked group-level changes in knowledge, not individual level changes Measured only instant effect of the summit: not sure whether the effect sustained over a long term to initiate behavior changes Questionnaire reliability < acceptable for most of the factors
22 Community-university partnership: Processes & challenges Processes Recruited schools-five counties Parental approval Recruited professionals and community organizations from private and public sectors Obtained funding and in-kind supplies and services Strong faculty, staff, director Hosted by regional university Recruited volunteers from high schools in multiple counties Media highlights Challenges Coordinating youth summit with other university duties (associate dean for research, executive assistant) Sustainability of funding (supported by three sources) Continued university support in a time of dwindling resources Transportation of students from schools with limited resources Program held during university spring break only accessible time for class room space
23 The Summit was effective in increasing rural adolescents knowledge which is important in preventing HIV/AIDS appeared to be an effective means to educate rural adolescents en masse outside schools seemed to have provided a better learning opportunity for rural adolescents Interactive approach Watching large number of peers taking part; listening to experts Small groups and speakers and audience unknown: feelings of awkwardness eradicated while asking questions More university-community partnerships should be built in order to develop similar events as a supplement to curricula-based sex education in schools
