Perceptions of Social Norms and Personal Propensity to Engage in HIV Testing: A Mixed Methods Study and Intervention in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS812ES
We propose a study to assess norms and perceptions about HIV prevention and related topics. This includes assessing village norms (i.e., the behaviours or attitudes of more than 50% of the adult population), perceived norms, how people form their perceptions, which social reference groups are the most meaningful, and the difference between actual norms and individuals’ perceptions of what most others do or believe. We will also examine whether perceptions are associated with personal behaviours and attitudes.
Project 1 Aim: To engage in secondary analysis of quantitative data about perceived social norms and actual population norms around HIV prevention behaviours and related topics across different social reference groups.
Aim 1: We will assess the prevalence of perceived and actual behavioural norms. We will do this both at the village-level and across various sociodemographic and health indicators. We will consider a behaviour the village norm if it is reported by more than 50% of adults.
Aim 2: Because the parent study includes nearly all adults living in Nyakabare Parish, we can compare the actual village norm (assessed in Aim 1) to perceptions of the village norm. The parent study asked participants about their perceptions of what most other adults in the village do or think.
Aim 3: Using the self-reported behaviours, attitudes, and norm perceptions, we will test whether individuals’ perceptions of what is normative is related to their personal attitudes and behaviours.
Project 2 Aim: To use qualitative research methods to understand the nuances of HopeNet participants’ perceptions about local norms and design valid survey questions that elicit perceived social norms about HIV testing within different reference groups.
Aim 1: Through in-depth interviews, scenarios related to HIV prevention attitudes and behaviours and perceived norms about salient social reference groups will be discussed.
Aim 2: Based on results from Aim 1, survey questions using different ways of assessing norms will be developed to assess perceived social norms around HIV-related prevention behaviours and attitudes among different reference groups.
Aim 3: Through cognitive interviews, the content validity of these survey questions to elicit perceptions of social norms about HIV-related attitudes and behaviours among specific social reference groups will improve.
