- W349699057 abstract "Abstract: A qualitative analysis of culturally diverse mothers' experiences communicating with their children about HIV/AIDS following their participation in a nationally renowned prevention and education program illuminated some of the challenges and surprises these women encountered. Excerpts of illustrate the themes that emerged through data analysis. Implications and applications to other contexts are provided. In recent years, the high incidence of sexual activity and HIV contraction by American youth has reached overwhelming proportions. The likelihood that a teenager will engage in sexual intercourse increases throughout the teen years (Dailard, 2001). The Office of National AIDS Policy (2000) reported that 65% of teens are sexually active by the 12th grade, with 20% having had four or more partners. The number of teenagers diagnosed with HIV and AIDS continues to grow at alarming rates; 50% of all new HIV infections presently occur in youth ages 13 to 24, which translates to more than 20,000 teens and young adults per year (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2002). While the need for prevention and education programs for children and adolescents continues to grow, many restrictions are placed on school-based education programs. The Alan Guttmacher Institute reported that 25% of sex education teachers are not permitted to discuss contraception, including the use of condoms, as they teach from an abstinence-only perspective (Dailard, 2001). Other programs have more latitude regarding the issues that can be covered and attempt to incorporate the family unit and communication skills into curricula. However, the ongoing debate about whether sex education should be provided in the school or the home continues, while teenagers continue to engage in sexual activity and contract HIV. In the last 10 years, prevention programs have started to target parents to teach them how to educate and communicate with their children about sexual issues (Lederman & Mian, 2003). However, there is little outcome research on the effectiveness of HIV prevention programs that specifically train parents to be HIV educators for their children and adolescents. It is imperative to determine which specific components of family-centered HIV prevention programs are successful. HIV is an area of study that is constantly changing with the advent of technology, research, and new information. Program evaluation studies cost time, resources, and commitment from clinical agencies and organizations. Unfortunately, many prevention and education programs lack the luxury of funding for such evaluation efforts. More and more programs are concluding that well designed and executed evaluation studies are an investment in a program's future (Coyle, Boruch, & Turner, 1991). Findings can lead to changes in program curricula and implementation as well as help improve services to the community by identifying factors that may be facilitating or preventing desired outcomes (Mertens & Carael, 1997). Once preliminary evaluation studies have been completed, future evaluations will be less expensive to conduct, future funding for the program may be obtained, and morale can increase when program staff view how their daily efforts impact others' lives (Coyle et al., 1991; Grembowski, 2001). In studies of parental communication with children about HIV/AIDS, there has been a dearth of information from a multicultural perspective (Finger, 1997; Sigelman, Mukai, Woods, & Alfeld, 1995). Exploration of the perceptions of mothers from various cultural and ethnic groups about their communication with their children about HIV would add to knowledge in this area. The purpose of this paper is to present qualitative findings from a program evaluation of Mothers' Voices South Florida (MVSF). BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANIZATION Mothers' Voices, a national grassroots organization, was founded in 1991 in New York City by a group of five mothers who had concerns about the rise of HIV infection among the nation's youth (Mothers' Voices, 2003). …" @default.
