RESUMO

This study investigated the relationships between adolescent religiosity and attitudes to HIV/AIDS based on two major techniques of analysis; factor and regression analysis towards informing preventive school education strategies. Using cross-sectional data of 448 adolescents in junior high school; the study incorporated survey in a self-administered questionnaire and sought to identify underlying factors that affect pupils' responses; delineate the pattern of relationships between variables and select models which best explain and predict relationships among variables. A seven-factor solution described the 'attitude' construct including abstinence and protection; and six for 'religiosity'. The results showed relatively high levels of religiosity and a preference for private religiosity as opposed to organisational religiosity. The regression analysis produced significant relationships between factors of attitudes to HIV/AIDS and of religiosity. Adolescent with very high private religiosity are more likely to abstain from sex but less likely to use condoms once they initiate: protection is inversely related to religiosity. The findings suggest that religious-based adolescent interventions should focus on intrinsic religiosity. Additionally; increasing HIV prevention information and incorporating culturally relevant and socially acceptable values might lend support to improved adolescent school-based HIV/AIDS prevention programmes
