A stratified random sampling method was used to obtain a representative sample of social workers in South Carolina. Findings show that AIDS-related knowledge and skill were significantly associated with improving the general attitudes of social workers toward HIV/AIDS clients. In addition to knowledge and skill-related measures, other significant covariates of attitudes include levels of contact with HIV/AIDS clients and sensitivity to minorities. As with previous studies, demographic variables such as age and gender were not found to be significantly related to variations in attitudes toward HIV/AIDS clients. Furthermore, locality of practice and supervisory position did not significantly correlate with attitudes. The implications of these findings for social services agencies are discussed.Citation Details
