The communication and dissemination of information about HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in the South African mining industry, with reference to Kumba Iron Ore

The intention of the study was to find the preferred medium of communication and the preferred language for the dissemination of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) information among the unskilled employees of Kumba Iron Ore mining company, with an assumption that disseminating of appropriate information can influence positive behaviour change with respect to the HIV/AIDS disease. In this study company and clinic workshops came up as the most preferred media for receiving HIV/AIDS information and English came up as the most preferred language for all the media types except radio where Tswana-Sotho came up as the most preferred language. It also came up clearly in the findings that most women do not like to discuss HIV/AIDS issues with friends or relatives / Dissertation (MIT)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Information Science / Unrestricted
