Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The aim of the research was to assess the potential contribution that research guided by psychological theory can make to understanding how the respondents from these two communities make decisions concerning HIV. The Theories of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Planned Behaviour (TPB) were used primarily (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1975, 1988).
