Survey Continued

Does
your school talk about the issue of HIV/AIDS? Our graph shows that 94% of the people have heard about HIV/AIDS in their schools. 14% say they have not heard about AIDS in school. You can conclude that the topic of AIDS is very open in U.S schools and that majority of the people surveyed feel comfortable about it. This is unlike Africa where people don’t talk about AIDS because they are ashamed of it. |

Which
continent is most affected by AIDS? For this question, we listed four continents for people to choose. This included Asia, Africa, South America, and North America. 4% of the people said Asia, and 96% said Africa. This tells us that many people know that Africa is in crisis. |

What
ways do you think we can help prevent the spread of AIDS? (List two
ways) 58% said safe sex, like using condoms, will be the way to stop the spread of AIDS. 56% said abstinence will be a good preventative way. 46% said education. 12% suggested stopping using dirty needles. 12% suggested that the best way is creating a vaccine for it. 8% said funds will help prevent the spread of AIDS. The results from this question indicate that these teenagers look to safe sex or abstinences as the best way to prevent AIDS. You would infer from this that these teens believe that sex is the major cause for the virus. |
Conclusion Remarks: The survey we collected is limited because there were not as many people as we wished we could have received data from. It would have been better if we had more of a variety of people and got analysis from different places. Right now, we only collected surveys from our Upward Bound students. There could also have been many other ways to improve our data, for example, having better questions to ask.
