“…Given the importance of evaluating attitudes to different aspects of HIV/AIDS, several scales are currently available, for example the EA-AIDS HIV/AIDS Attitude Scale, validated for Portuguese-speaking populations [ 11 ]; the Stigmatizing Attitudes Towards People Living With HIV/AIDS Scale (SAT-PLWHA-S) [ 12 ], validated for Quebec; the HIV/AIDS-164 Scale [ 13 ], validated for adult Colombian [ 14 ], and its short version, the HIV/AIDS-65 Scale [ 15 ], validated for adult Spanish population [ 16 ]; the scale designed by Boileau, Rashed, Sylla, and Zunzunegui [ 17 ] for adolescents and young people from West Africa; or the HIV Attitudes Scale (HIV-AS) [ 18 ], validated for Spanish and Portuguese adolescents populations [ 19 ]. The last scale in this list, the HIV-AS, is currently the only scale designed for Spanish-speaking populations to evaluate attitudes associated with HIV/AIDS exclusively among adolescents.…”

The HIV Attitudes Scale (HIV-AS) evaluates attitudes towards different aspects of HIV. In view of the lack of scales measuring this construct in Colombia, this study sought to validate the HIV-AS test for adolescents from Colombia. A total of 867 Colombian students, aged between 14 and 19 years (M = 15.97 years; SD = 1.37) were evaluated. Participants responded to the HIV-AS test and a set of scales used to assess external validity. Content validity analyses reflected good adequacy indices for the items. Exploratory factor analyses revealed a four-factor structure and reliability indices were satisfactory. The structural equation model showed good levels of fit. Most of the items presented a discrimination index above 0.30 and contributed to the reliability of the scale, except for item 9, which was eliminated. Concurrent validity showed significant correlations among the HIV-AS and other similar constructs. A reliable measurement of attitudes toward HIV allows for an improved assessment of the risk associated with exposure to sexually transmitted infections in adolescent populations.

et al. 2018

This paper describes the process of building and validating the AIDS Prevention Questionnaire (CPS), a brief HIV risk assessment measure. An initial 64-items bank was filled out by 466 young people (192 men and 274 women), aged between 17 and 26 years (M = 20.62; SD = 2.15). The exploratory factor analysis revealed five components: Knowledge about HIV, Condom Attitudes, Intentions of Condom Use, Safe sexual behavior and Stigma and discrimination towards people living with HIV. This structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency for the different components ranged from .67 to .74. Moreover, CPS has a classification system that allows determining the level of risk. These results support the AIDS Prevention Questionnaire as a valid and reliable measure to detect earlier the risk for HIV infection and to design adjusted preventive interventions.

ResumoA sexualidade é tema transversal para a Educação Básica e vem ganhando relevância social com o aumento dos casos de AIDS na juventude brasileira. Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar o Programa Saúde nas Escolas -PSE, a partir da comparação de quatro escolas públicas, duas com adesão ao Programa (grupo experimental) e duas sem (grupo controle). Inicialmente, foi construída e testada psicometricamente uma escala de atitudes e prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis -ISTs. Em seguida foi realizado um survey com 400 alunos do Ensino Médio e entrevistas com seis gestores do Programa. Os gestores mostraram bom conhecimento do Programa e de seus objetivos, mas a implementação deste apresenta falhas. Os alunos não confirmam a realização das atividades previstas nas escolas e não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre o conhecimento do grupo experimental e do grupo controle acerca da prevenção das ISTs, predominando tabus e desinformação.Palavras-chave: Avaliação de programas; ensino médio; sexualidade. Impact Assessment of the Health Program in Schools AbstractThe theme of sexuality is considered as a cross-cutting issue to be worked on basic education and gain social relevance when cases AIDS increase in on young people of Brazil. This study aims to evaluate the Health Program in schools -PSE, with comparison of four public schools, two with joining the program (experimental group) and two without accession (control group). For a start, we built and tested a scale of attitudes and psychometric prevention of sexually transmitted infections -STIs. After that we conducted a survey with 400 high school students, and six interviews with program managers. The managers demonstrated good knowledge of the program and its objectives, but the implementation of the same lapse. Students not confirm the performance of activities provided in schools and no significant differences were found between the knowledge of the experimental group and the control group on the prevention of STIs, prevailing taboos and misinformation.
