“…Many studies demonstrated that although members of the public understand how HIV is transmitted, they are much less knowledgeable about how it is not transmitted (London & Robles, 2000;Herek et al, 2002). A large proportion of respondents overestimate the risks posed by some forms of casual social contact (MMWR, 2000).…”

I test whether worry is related to four indicators of knowledge about HIV/AIDS.…”

The Knowledge Scale by London and Robles (2000) combines the information content in two dimensions: correct/documented knowledge and incorrect/undocumented knowledge. The test shows adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha for the two subscales of .79 and .65), although it has been validated with a sample consisting of women only between 15 and 49.…”
