| Abstract: | This article presents a study on the racial differences in AIDS knowledge among adults. The data were collected by means of a computer assisted telephone survey carried out on a monthly basis during 1989 as part of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Respondents aged 18 and older were selected randomly from the population of individuals who could be reached through residential telephone numbers in the District of Columbia. The sample was representative of the civilian, noninstitutionalized adult population of Washington, D.C. Respondents were selected according to a two-stage cluster design procedure based on the Waksberg method. Principal-components analysis performed on all knowledge variables of the questionnaire resulted in four outcome variables. The first outcome variable measures an individual's knowledge of the difference between an asymptomatic person infected with human immunodeficiency virus and a person with AIDS. This variable allows for the appraisal of the respondents' knowledge of the natural history of the disease, to determine if they are aware that the risk of infection does not come only from |
