内容説明

The HIV/AIDS epidemic has presented considerable challenges to social researchers to provide detailed and accurate information about "sensitive" behaviour amongst "hidden" populations, to develop theories to explain and predict how and why behaviour changes; and to carry out assessments of knowledge, attitudes, practices and the effectiveness of health education interventions in shaping these. This volume draws together examples of innovative research which has been conducted in the field of HIV/AIDS and describes the relevance of these methods for research in health behaviour more generally. The chapters are drawn from the work of 12 research groups who, in response to the challenge of HIV/AIDS research, have developed the tools of social research to new degrees of sophistication or put them to use in novel and imaginative ways. While the emphasis in this book is on the methods the researchers have developed, it is in the substantive findings of their studies, and their contribution to our understanding of the epidemic, that the methods have proved their worth.; The AIDS epidemic has "changed the rule" for social research on health and illness. The urgency surrounding the epidemic has given rise to an openness to different disciplines and new approaches within the research community. For example, questions of the reliability and validity of accounts of "private" behaviour have been given new consideration, as have the theoretical underpinnings of research which looks at vulnerable or "disadvantaged" groups within society. The developments described in this volume represent the way social science has been taken forward by researchers who have confronted the challenges posed by research on the social dimensions of HIV/AIDS.

内容説明

First published in 1994. This volume arises largely out of a meeting with the same title as part of efforts to disseminate the work of its AIDS Initiative. The meeting brought together over forty British, European and American researchers in the social and behavioural sciences, as well as those involved in policy, planning and evaluation, to discuss methodological aspects of social research in relation to HIV/AIDS. Of relevance to those seeking insight into the contribution that social research can make to the epidemic, this book is essential reading for all concerned with the social dimensions of health.
