Abstract

This study assessed psychometrics of an HIV/AIDS knowledge scale and the relation of scores to HIV risk behaviors among African-American women 17 to 44 years of age (N=405). Data were collected from five communities located in Atlanta, Georgia. The HIV/AIDS risk-behavior knowledge scale and the HIV risk-behavior factors were collected. Analysis indicated reliability coefficients of the HIV/AIDS knowledge scale were virtually identical for high- and low-risk groups. The high-risk group scored statistically significantly better (76% correct answers) than the low-risk group (67% correct answers). The KR-20 coefficients were identical for both risk groups (.73), suggesting that the AIDS knowledge scale has suitable reliability.

摘要

本研究评估了一种艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识量表的心理测量特性，以及17至44岁非裔美国女性（N = 405）的得分与艾滋病毒风险行为之间的关系。数据收集自佐治亚州亚特兰大的五个社区。收集了艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险行为知识量表和艾滋病毒风险行为因素。分析表明，艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识量表在高风险组和低风险组中的信度系数几乎相同。高风险组的得分在统计学上显著高于低风险组（正确答案为76%）（正确答案为67%）。两个风险组的KR-20系数相同（.73），表明艾滋病知识量表具有适当的信度。
