Perceptions of acquired immune deficiency syndrome by children and their parents.
Assessed perceptions of acquired immune deficiency syndrome in school-aged children and their parents. Using a hierarchical regression analysis, parent attitudes toward AIDS were found to be significant predictors of a child's attitudes toward persons with AIDS, but were not significant predictors of a child's knowledge of AIDS. The child's own knowledge level served as a significant predictor of the child's attitudes and vice versa.
