Question

Thank you so much!! This is a graded discussion: 5 points possible due Sep 19 at 7pm Methodology 13 43 Suppose that you wish to find out what actions people are actually taking to prevent the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. You obtain a brochure from the Centers for Disease Control that indicates sensible precautions to take, and then you use this to design a survey to examine whether or not people actually take these precautions. What kinds of problems are you likely to run into in administering such a survey? What issues of social desirability bias should we worry about. Discuss anonymity of findings, social desirability scales, and/or unobtrusive measures (for example, condom sales: if students claim to be practicing safe sex but condom sales in the area are low, then you would suspect that students were answering your questions in a socially desirable way) as possible means of reducing social desirability concerns. Later this week, read thoughts from your peers and reply to at least one peer with your thoughts. Do you agree with them? Is there a different approach you might use? Tell me how they got you thinking about this and what you would like to add. Search entries or author Unread Subscribe Reply

Explanation / Answer

When it comes to doing a survey of sexually transmitted diseases one has to make sure to maintain anonymity.So if we are distributing uestionnaires to students they can be allotted numbers instead of writing their names or revelaing any other personal informationThis practice is followed even in hospitals considering treatment of hiv/aids in patients.Anonymity is the most important factor one has to maintain in such issues.Most of the hospitals and schools have condom vending machines in the campus so they do not have the need to gou out.This is one way of keeping track of safe sex practices. in hiv/aids.Some of the problems that one would run into administering the survey is not answering some of the questions or giving answers to questions depending on the judgment they may face if they gave the right asnwer
