HIV/AIDS Knowledge Among VWC Freshman Students
Extending prior research on the body of HIV/AIDS knowledge among the VWC student body, the goal of this study was to gather the first wave of data in a potential longitudinal study on VWC student knowledge about HIV/AIDS specifically targeting incoming freshmen. Surveys containing knowledge questions on HIV/AIDS were administered to freshman students. Analysis of these data allowed an in-depth evaluation of what first-semester college freshmen know, do not know, and want to know about HIV/AIDS. The survey results have formed the basis of a campus presentation by professional educators from The AIDS Fund (Tidewater Aids Community Taskforce), which was specifically designed to address these findings.
