HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between HIV knowledge and a sample
of students from Georgia. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was taken by the 211
Georgia students to analyze the HIV knowledge, gender, parent communication, intervention
effectiveness, and condom usage. The survey measured teens health-risk behavior, including
HIV knowledge. The descriptive analysis results indicate that 74.9%, of the teens are AfricanAmerican, 6.6% are Hispanic, and 18.5% are other; of the teens 52.1% are male and 47.9% are
female; and 7.1% of their parents dont work, while 92.9% of their parents do. The results
indicate that that the average total HIV knowledge scores of females was not significantly
different than the average total test scores of males, F(209)=.804, p>.05. Results show that the
average HIV knowledge score after the intervention was significantly higher than the average
test score before the intervention, t(210)=-8.585, p<.001. Results indicated that there was a weak
insignificant positive relationship between the total number of times participants use a condom
and HIV knowledge scores, r(209)=.152, p=.159. Results indicate that there was not a significant
effect of parent communication regarding HIV prevention on HIV knowledge scores at the p<.05
level for the three conditionsnever converse, sometimes converse, often converse, and
converse a lot, F(3,207)=.454, p=.715. The association between teens who have experienced

vaginal sex and HIV knowledge was in fact significant, thus rejecting the null hypothesis,

X2

(1, N=211) =10.456, p=.001. The results from the study aid researchers in HIV prevention
amongst teens.
Keywords: HIV knowledge, teens, gender, parent communication, intervention
effectiveness, condom usage.

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

METHODOLOGY
Participants
The study consists of 211 Georgia teens from grades 9 th through 12th that were taken from a
larger population of teens attending schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. After
running a descriptive analysis, it was found that of the participants, 52.1% were male and 47.9%
were female (Fig. 1). As for race, 74.9% of the participants were African-American, 6.6% were
Hispanic, 2.8% were Asian, 2.4% were Caucasian, and 13.3% were other (Fig. 2). Results
indicated that ages ranged from 13-18 years old, with the average age was 15 (M=15.08,
SD=1.4) (Fig. 3). Schools from Puerto Rico, the trust territories, and the Virgin Islands were not
included from the frame.

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

Materials
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was used in this study. The survey measured
the health-risk behaviors of the participants, such as injuries and violence, alcohol and drug use,
tobacco use, and sexual risk behaviors. The survey also provide information regarding unhealthy
dietary behaviors, physical inactivity, prevalence of obesity and asthma among teens in grades 9 th
through 12th. Of the 50 items on the survey, 7 questions were obtained for analysis.
For descriptive analysis, the three questions, Gender? How old are you? And what race
are you were obtained (fig. 4). For HIV knowledge and sexual activity analysis, four questions
were asked (fig. 5). For analysis on the frequency of parent communication regarding HIV
prevention, the answers to the question, During the past 6 months, how many times have you
talked with your parents about HIV prevention? was obtained. Teens chose one of the four
options: never, sometimes, often, and a lot. To obtain information on teens knowledge of HIV,
the answers to the statement, Most people who have HIV look sick, was obtained. Teens chose
one of the two options: true or false. To gather information regarding teens sexual activity, the
answers to the question, Have you ever had vaginal sex? was obtained. Teens chose one of the
two options: yes or no. To analyze teens sexual activity in regards to practicing safe sex, the
answers to the question, In the past 90 days, how many times did you use a condom during
vaginal sex? was obtained.

To assess the knowledge of HIV of the teens in the study, the total HIV knowledge score
was obtained from the YRBS. To further analyze the participants knowledge, based on the HIV
knowledge score, the teens were split into two categories: those with high levels of knowledge
and those with low levels of knowledge. To assess the HIV Knowledge of the students before
and after an HIV intervention, the scores of HIV Knowledge from the teens was obtained from
the YRBS before and after the intervention.
Procedure
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), was given to one hundred and ninety-four
schools (all regular public, Catholic, and other private school) in the 50 states and the District of
Columbia. The schools were selected using systematic equal probability sampling proportional to
enrollment in grades 9th through 12th with random start. Systematic equal probability sampling
with a random start was also used to select classes from each school that participated in the
survey. The YRBS provided information on the health-risk behaviors of the sampled students in
the United States, including behaviors that contribute to injuries and violence, alcohol or other
drug use, tobacco use, sexual risk behaviors, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and physical inactivity.
The database of this study hold a subset of response by 211 Georgia students collected from

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

October 2006 and February 2007. From that database, only specific responses, such as the HIV
knowledge, gender, parent communication, intervention effectiveness, and condom usage, were
pulled to investigate the relationship between HIV knowledge and a sample of students from
Georgia. A Pearsons r Correlation, Paired Sample T-Test, Independent Sample, One-Way
ANOVA, and Two-Way Chi-Squared were all conducted to aid in the investigation.
Results
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was taken in 2006 by the 211 Georgia students
to measured teens health-risk behavior; including HIV knowledge, gender, parent
communication, intervention effectiveness, and condom usage. The purpose of this study is to
investigate the relationship between HIV knowledge and a sample of teenage students from
Georgia. A series of test were conducted to aid in the investigation, including Pearsons r
Correlation, Paired Sample T-Test, Independent Sample, One-Way ANOVA, and Two-Way ChiSquared.
Independent Sample
In order to investigate if the Total HIV Knowledge Scores of females (N=101) was
significantly different than the Total HIV Knowledge Scores of males (N=110), an Independent
Sample T-Test was conducted. The null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in HIV
Knowledge Scores between females and males. Results indicate that the average total HIV
Knowledge scores of females (M=4.57, SD=1.19) was not significantly different than the
average total HIV Knowledge scores of males (M=4.75, SD=1.15), thus failing to rejecting the
null hypothesis, F(209)=.804, p>.05. Figure 6 displays the average total HIV Knowledge scores

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

of both male and female participants. The results indicate that gender does not play a role in the
knowledge of HIV amongst the sample of Georgia teens.
Figure 6

One-Way ANOVA
In order investigate whether there will be a significant difference in total HIV knowledge
scores between teens who never converse with their parents about HIV prevention (N=100),
sometimes converse with their parents about HIV prevention (N=51), often converse with their
parents about HIV prevention (N=34), and teens who converse with their parents about HIV
prevention a lot (N=26), a One-Way ANOVA test was conducted. The null hypothesis is that
there is not a significant difference in total HIV Knowledge scores between teens who never
converse with their parents about HIV prevention, sometimes converse with their parents about
HIV prevention, often converse with their parents about HIV prevention, and teens who converse
with their parents about HIV prevention a lot. Figure 7 displays the percentage of parent
communication responses from the teen participants.

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

Figure 7

The study indicates that the average HIV knowledge score was the lowest for teens who
often converse to their parents regarding HIV prevention (M=4.588, SD=1.39). The average test
score for teens who never converse with their parents regarding HIV prevention (M=4.60,
SD=1.14) was greater than teens who talk to their parents often about HIV. The average test
score for teens who converse with their parents a lot regarding HIV (M=4.77, SD=1.31) was
higher than both the teens who converse with their parents often and the teens who never
converse with their parents regarding HIV. The highest averaged HIV Knowledge score was
found to be among teens who sometimes conversed with their parents regarding HIV (M=4.80,
SD=1.00). Figure 8 displays the HIV knowledge score averages of the four different responses of
parent communication frequencies.

Figure 8

Results indicate that there was not a significant effect of conversation frequencies
between parents and teens regarding HIV prevention on HIV Knowledge scores at the p<.05
level for the four conditionsnever converse, sometimes converse, often converse, and converse
a lot, thus failing to reject the null hypothesis, F(3,207)=.454, p=.715.
Post Hoc comparisons using the Tukey HSD test indicate that the mean test score of the
teens that reported never conversing with their parents regarding HIV prevention was
insignificant when compared to the mean test score of teens that reported conversing with their
parents sometimes, often, and a lot. The mean test score of the teens that reported sometimes
conversing with their parents regarding HIV prevention was insignificant when compared to the
mean test score of teens that reported conversing with their parents never, often, and a lot. The
mean test score of the teens that reported often conversing with their parents regarding HIV
prevention was insignificant when compared to the mean test score of teens that reported
conversing with their parents never, sometimes, and a lot. The mean test score of the teens that
reported conversing with their parents a lot regarding HIV prevention was insignificant when

compared to the mean test score of teens that reported conversing with their parents never,
sometimes, and often. Figure 9 displays the Tukey Post Hoc test results. In laymens terms, the
conversations parents have with their teens regarding HIV Prevention does not significantly
affect their knowledge of HIV.

Correlation
In order to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between the total number
of times participants use a condom during vaginal sex and HIV Knowledge Scores, a Pearsons r
Correlation was conducted. The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant relationship
between the total number of times participants use a condom during vaginal sex and HIV
knowledge scores. Results indicate that there a weak insignificant positive relationship between
the total number of times participants use a condom during vaginal sex (M=1.931, SD=3.41) and

11

HIV Knowledge Scores (M=4.67, SD=1.17), thus failing to rejecting the null hypothesis,
r(209)=.152, p=.159. Figure 10 displays a scatterplot showing the points of the number of times
participants have used a condom during vaginal sex and the points of the scores students
received.
Figure 10

Paired Sample T-Test

In order to test if the average score of HIV Knowledge was significantly higher among
high school students (N=211) after an HIV intervention as oppose to before, a Paired Sample TTest was conducted. This study can aid researchers as to whether HIV interventions are effective
in increasing HIV knowledge amongst teens. Results indicate that the average HIV Knowledge
score after the intervention (M=5.50, SD=1.15) was significantly higher than the average HIV
Knowledge score before the intervention (M=4.38, SD=1.59), thus rejecting the null hypothesis,
t(210)=-8.585, p<.001. Figure 11 displays the average HIV knowledge scores of teens both

before and after the intervention. HIV interventions are in fact effective in increasing HIV
knowledge amongst teens in this study.
Figure 11

Two-Way Chi Square

In order to determine if there is a significant association between teens who have experienced
vaginal sex (yes and no) and HIV knowledge (low and high), a Pearsons Chi-Square Test was
conducted. This relationship can aid researchers in understanding if experiencing sex increases or
decreases HIV knowledge amongst teens. The association between teens who have experienced

vaginal sex and HIV knowledge was in fact significant, thus rejecting the null hypothesis,

X2

(1, N=211) =10.456, p=.001. Figure 12 displays the percentage of students placed in the lower
knowledge of HIV and higher knowledge of HIV based on sexual activity.

HIV KNOWLEDGE AND A TEENAGE SAMPLE

Figure 12

The study showed how 27.0% of teens who have not experienced vaginal sex displayed a
low level of HIV knowledge (N=57), and 31.8% of teens who have not experienced vaginal sex
displayed a high level of HIV knowledge (N=67). Also, 10.0% of teens who have had vaginal
sex displayed a lower level of HIV knowledge (N=21), and 31.3% of teens who have had vaginal
sex displayed a higher level of HIV knowledge (N=66).
Factorial ANOVA
A factorial ANOVA was conducted in order to investigate the effect of gender, (male and
female) and Vaginal Sex Experience (yes to experiencing vaginal sex and no to experiencing
vaginal sex) on HIV knowledge scores. The null hypothesis of the first main effect is that there
will be no significant difference between the genders of the teens, male and female, on the HIV
knowledge scores. The effect null hypothesis of the second main effect is that there will be no
significant difference between vaginal sex experience, those that have experienced vaginal sex
and those that havent, on HIV knowledge scores. The null hypothesis of the interaction is that

14

there will be no significant interaction effect between gender and vaginal sex experience on the
HIV knowledge scores.
The average HIV knowledge scores were higher amongst males (N=110, M=4.75,
SD=1.15), than females (N=101, M=4.57, SD=1.19). Results indicate that the effect of gender on
HIV knowledge scores was insignificant, thus failing to reject the null hypothesis of the first
main effect, F(1,207)= .953, p=.330.
The effect of vaginal sex experience on HIV knowledge score was significant, thus
rejection the null hypothesis of the second main effect, F(1, 207)=16.87, p<.001. Results indicate
that gender x vaginal sex experience interaction was insignificant, F(1,207)=.07, p=.791.
