Perception of Risk Behaviours Influencing HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Among Secondary School Adolescents in Enugu State, Nigeria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The study investigated the secondary school adolescents’ perception of risk behaviours influencing HIV and AIDS prevention and control in Enugu State, Nigeria. METHOD: The study was a descriptive survey research. A sample of 825 senior secondary secondary school adolescents was selected. Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Mean and Standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 levels of significances. RESULTS: Results showed that there is a moderate level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among secondary school adolescents, a moderate level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among the male and female secondary school adolescents and also a moderate level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among the urban and rural secondary school adolescents. It further revealed that there is no significant difference between the mean rating of male and female secondary school adolescents in respect to their HIV/AIDS risk perception. It was also discovered from the study that there is significant difference between the mean rating of urban and rural secondary school adolescents with regards to their HIV/AIDS risk perception in favour of urban secondary school adolescents. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that there is a moderate level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among secondary school adolescents in the study area. The level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among the male and female secondary school adolescents is moderate. There is a moderate level of HIV/AIDS risk perception among the urban and rural secondary school adolescents. Further studies could be carried out using a larger population to substantiate the urgency for counseling programme to meet the secondary school adolescents’ needs on HIV/AIDS risk behaviours. Further research could also be focused on factors that affect adolescents’ perception of risks which makes them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
