Objective: This study explored the types of AIDS knowledge and attitudes among Korean adults and analyzed the socio-demographic characteristics and related factors of each type.
Methods: Data used in this study came from the Community Health Survey (2013), conducted by the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; a total of 122,888 study subjects ages 19-59 were included. SPSS 18.0 program was used for statistical analysis of the data. The types were classified using K-means cluster analysis, frequency analysis, and polychotomous logistic regression analysis of complex sample design to identify the characteristics and related factors of the types.
Results: The results of the study are as follows: the types of AIDS knowledge and attitudes were identified as “high knowledge & negative attitude” (36.0%), “high knowledge & positive attitude” (31.1%), and “low knowledge & negative attitude” (32.9%). Male, town residents, those 20-29 and 40-49 aged people, professional administrator/manager, married, or higher education tended to be classified into ‘high knowledge & positive attitude’ compared to those counter partners.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it would be effective to consider the socio-demographic characteristics of each type of AIDS knowledge and attitudes when developing a program designed to improve AIDS knowledge and attitudes in Korean adults.
