Abstract: (419 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to determine the association of socio-demographic, educational, and attitudinal factors with knowledge about HIV/AIDS among young women aged 15-24 in Indonesia.
Instrument & Methods: This quantitative study used an observational analytical and retrospective cohort study design, and was conducted on 12,632 young women aged 15 to 24 years in Indonesia. The data used were secondary data derived from the Individual Recode Dataset of the 2017 Demographic Health Survey. The univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) tests were used to analyze the data.
Findings: All parameters were found to have a significant association with knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The most influential parameter was the source of information about AIDS, comparing categories of no information versus more information (p=<0.001, aOR=2.53, 95%CI=2.30-2.78).
Conclusion: Several socio-demographic, educational, and attitudinal factors are associated with knowledge about HIV/AIDS among young women in Indonesia.
