[K.7 K.pote: an original experience in the promotion of condoms among youths].
The CRIPS is a specialised AIDS prevention center in the Paris metropolitan region. The Paris metropolitan region regroups 10 million inhabitants in its urban zone. This region is one of the most affected areas in Europe by AIDS and HIV infection, and contains more than 50 percent of the AIDS cases in France. As of June 30, 1991, the rate of declared AIDS cases in Paris was 8 for every one thousand inhabitants. At the beginning of the epidemic, AIDS basically concerned homosexuals in the center of Paris. Today, more and more young heterosexual drug users are affected. Adolescents from a low socio-economic background are often at risk of marginalization from the mainstream of society and thus at risk to become part of this new HIV affected population. They are often not reached by mass media, general public campaigns. In France, very little information materials are directly targetted to this young, socio-economically disadvantaged population. The CRIPS set out to devise a new prevention tool which would target young males from this population, particularly those in the 15-20 year age group. In preparation for the project, six months were spent on field research in the neighborhoods where the young people lived, worked and socialized. Interviews were held with young people themselves and adults in the area, particularly bar men and others working where the youth socialized.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
