Eight thousand two hundred and one newborn infants were registered in 1988, approximately 77% of all children born in that year. The risk of death by age 2 was determined from reports given by the mother on the present status of a previously born child at the time of a recent deliver…

Knowledge of Aids, use of condoms and results of counselling subjects with asymptomatic HIV2 infection in the gambia
A questionnaire administered to subjects seen during a serological survey in The Gambia revealed that knowledge of AIDS and HIV infection was limited. Males, those with a secondary education and people who lived in urban areas had a better understanding but only 17% of women seen in rural areas had any knowledge of the condition. Only 8% of the subjects seen had used condoms in the preceding 12 months; during this time half of them had done so on…
Asking questions on sexual behaviour … testing methods from the social sciences
The spread of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa could reach epidemic proportions rapidly with serious economic, social and demographic consequences. In the absence of a cure for the infection, a modification of sexual behaviour could have the greatest impact on its spread. However, lack of knowledge of sexual habits of men and women living in Africa, hampers the design of educational campaigns. This paper describes different methods of collecting data o…
