AB OBJECTIVE: To formulate a model for community awareness generation for
AIDS control through YOUTH TO YOUTH Communication Strategy on Voluntary
Basis. METHOD: One hundred boys and girls from
Undergraduate/Postgraduate classes were selected to form 10 core groups
and identified as members of Voluntary Core Group(VCG). These were
oriented about spread & control of HIV transmission. Simultaneously,
they were trained about ways and means to communicate this message in
community through one-to-one and one-to-many communication strategies.
They were asked to identify High Risk Behaviour (HRB) groups of their
own interest and formulate their own strategies. The various activities
of VCG were then supervised. RESULTS: Number of stalls, poster
exhibitions, orientation talks etc. were organised by VCG, touching
nearly every corner of the city, specially urban slums. Counselling and
free distribution of condoms to those who needed was the highlight.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The enthusiastic participation of the youth
for the programme on voluntary basis was well above the mark. The ever
increasing number of participants in their group discussions is further
infusing encouragement into them.
