AB OBJECTIVE: To evaluate HIV education and prevention work carried out
with the general public and specific target audiences over the previous
5 years in Leicestershire. METHODS: In May 1993, 13,000 questionnaires
were sent out via GPS (900) and a free weekly paper (12,100) to areas
that reflected the large Asian population. Questions were asked about
knowledge attitudes and risk perception. Analysis was by EPI5. RESULTS:
30% of the 1180 respondants felt they had a good knowledge, but actual
knowledge was less, Asians-6%, White-12%. Perception of risk was simular
but sexual activity without condoms in Asia was higher for Asians (10%)
than for the white people (3%). 50% of all respondants recalled HIV work
in their area. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This study showed the large
numbers reached by prevention work in the previous 5 years. Asians
translated their knowledge to behaviour far less, which makes it more
urgent to continue targeted work with this population. This evaluation
has highlighted areas of knowledge that need more working on and it is
recommended this exercise takes place every 5 years.
