ABSTRACT
The project AIDS Prevention Strategies for Rural Families in Northeastern Thailand aimed to find effective strategies for AIDS education for rural families to promote non-risk behavior, non-discrimination while supporting care for individuals with HIV/AIDS in their families and in the community; to provide opportunities for family members, community leaders and HIV/AIDS organizations to cooperate, exchange ideas, and to participate in campaigns at the community level; and, to find appropriate media to improve the knowledge, understanding and awareness of HIV/AIDS among rural families. Data was collected through interviews by questionnaires, group discussions and in-depth interviews in two districts in the target province. A comparison of pre- and post test data analyzing knowledge of HIV transmission, AIDS prevention and treatment, attitudes and motivations, prevention behavior and women's empowerment all showed a significant improvement in all the above areas for the trial population.
