AB OBJECTIVE: The study was designed to implement and evaluate an AIDS
education programme involving the 'family compound' structure of Ibadan
City, in which family members themselves design and actively engage in
the education activities. METHOD: One of the largest family compounds in
the inner-city of Ibadan was purposively selected as a case study. The
first phase of the study involved collecting qualitative and
quantitative data on family members AIDS-related KAP. The second phase
involved the family members directly designing and implementing the
participatory activities. RESULTS: Rudimentary knowledge about HIV/AIDS
was discovered among family members. The education programme designed
involved popular 'family media' including family meetings, elders'
forum, drama sketches and formal talks. Interest in the activities
increased sharply and was accompanied by active participation.
Significant changes in knowledge and attitudes were also recorded.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The findings suggest the 'family compound' as
an effective medium for the HIV/AIDS education of grassroots
communities. It may also afford grassroots communities a direct input in
national AIDS programs.
