¶ … HIV Successful Women
The evaluation plan that will be deployed to measure the effectiveness and success of African-American women will revolve around a semi-structured interview with participants who meet certain demographic requirements. The focus of this plan is to determine how African-American women with this condition are able to meet the demands of living with HIV, as well as to identify what those particular demands are. This research study will combine elements of both qualitative and quantitative research, although it will emphasize the former with a semi-structured interview with which to elicit data from participants. During these interviews the researchers will have the opportunity to observe participants and gauge the impact of the sentiment of their words, which will constitute the crux of their data, accordingly.
The study will focus on the challenges and means to cope with HIV for African-American women aged 35-65 in an urban environment found on the west coast of the U.S. As such, it is necessary to find a minimum of 15 women who meet these demographic requirements. The researchers will limit the study to those who are able to speak English, HIV positive, and who were born in North America. Participants in a mentally debilitated state...
The research method for this study is Heideggerian hermeneutical phenomenology, which "focuses on the understanding of what it is to be in the world and understanding a phenomenon...in the context of larger human existence" (p. 113). The phenomenon studied is HIV infection among the aforementioned population, and their various difficulties and mechanisms in coping with it.
Data collection will involve amassing more demographic data about the participants, which will effectively function as metadata. Specifically, the researchers will determine the age of participants, the number of children they have, their marital statuses, length of time in which they had HIV, level of education, and severity of infection as gauged by their viral loads and respective CD4 counts. However, the semi-structured interview will function as the primary means of collecting data and will contain a number of open-ended questions.
These questions will contain inquiries such as how did you initially find out you had HIV, what was your first reaction when you found out, what adjustments have you made to your life since then, and what is your view of living with this condition at this point. The interviewers…

HIV Vaccine It Takes a Village Advances in medical treatment follow two paths more or less simultaneously. The first of these is the basic and directed scientific research that is needed to provide the concepts and solutions that may be channeled into particular treatments or cures. The second is equally important in terms of the ways in which medicine is conducted in the current age: The infrastructure to fund medical developments, to

The primary method used by the program will be an advertising campaign that addresses the need for behavioral change by the delivery of a personal message to the target audience, which has been shown to be highly effective in other areas (Singh, 2010).

AIDS in Urban, Black America THE AIDS EPIDEMIC IN URBAN, BLACK AMERICA Most people think of the AIDS epidemic as something that happens only in Africa, and they do not realize how many people in this country must struggle with the disease.

HIV Prevention Among Adolescents in Brooklyn Intervention studies are an approach to health conditions that is being used globally. For any given community, there can be success with intervention studies, or the intervention studies can be insufficient to decrease the effect of health issues upon the community. One medical condition which has been the subject of intervention studies is HIV. While there have been numerous intervention studies of HIV, their result
The subjects were adolescents 14-18 years old. They were recruited from schools and health clinics. The subjects completed an in-depth survey and interview at baseline and again 6 months later. The subsequent analyses were limited to adolescents with steady partners who reported sexual activity between the baseline and 6-month follow-up assessment periods (N = 179). At baseline, five-scale measures and a single-item measure were used to assess predictive constructs,
