“…One possible interpretation of these data is that, if clients had access to a physician, their trust in an NP or PA would be less. This conclusion was supported by Baldwin et al (1998) and Watts, Brockschmidt, Sisk, Baldwin, and McCubbin (1997) in their analysis of the focus group data that provided the basis for this instrument. The higher-order factor analysis also provided the researchers with implications for further research related to the initial acceptance of NPs and PAs into rural communities.…”

This article reports the use of higher-order factor analysis to examine the underlying dimensions of an instrument designed to measure community acceptance of nurse practitioners/physician's assistants. The instrument consisted of both dichotomous and Likert scale items. Use of factor analysis with dichotomous data is controversial. Higher-order factor analysis provides a potential solution to this dilemma. Following initial factor analysis using maximum likelihood extraction with oblique rotation, the factor correlation matrix was factored to obtain second order factors. The second order factors were interpreted using the factor pattern matrix and examining correlations of individual survey items with the second order factors. This procedure provides additional factorial validity of the underlying uni- and multidimensional concepts related to acceptance of NPs and PAs in rural settings: knowledge, competence, access, and trust.

A qualitative study was conductcd using focus group methodology to obtain thc knowledge, attitudcs, bclicfs, programmatic suggestions as well as communication strategies for HIV prevention from four specific types o f high-risk youth: incarceratedldetained youth, homelesslrunaway youth, school aged youth, and alcohol and other drug using youth (in school). Eleven focus groups were conducted. N o meaningful differences were found i n issues across the four groups; however, there were differences with regard to gender. Youth .Iour~rul o[HIV/AILIS Preve~~lio~z LC Edncolio~z for Adolescetzls d Clzildrer~provided specific suggestions for providing HIV prcvention programs which include communication strategies. Thc results will he used to facilitate in thc development and implementation of appropriate HIV prcvcntion measures in eight countics of a predominantly rural southeastern State.
