The full version of this monograph contains a pretty exhaustive review of the theories and research findings on HIV/AIDS prevention programs geared both to the mainstream population and in a specific way to Latino teens. It starts with an epidemiological and etiological overview of the social and health problem of AIDS among Latino teens that exceeds five percentage points (19%) their representation in U.S. population (14%). It also deals with the related problem of Latino teen pregnancy.

Aids prevention among latino teens: the role of family acculturation

Juan Luis Recio Adrados

The full version of this monograph contains a pretty exhaustive review of the theories and research findings on HIV/AIDS prevention programs geared both to the mainstream population and in a specific way to Latino teens. It starts with an epidemiological and etiological overview of the social and health problem of AIDS among Latino teens that exceeds five percentage points (19%) their representation in U.S. population (14%). It also deals with the related problem of Latino teen pregnancy.

I hypothesize that the acculturation process the Latino families go through will affect their functioning and, in a specific way, the performance of their socialization tasks. Acculturation will, however, be assessed from the assumption that it can be both differentiated and pro-active, namely embracing either external and/or internal family systems, and not only incorporating mainstream culture’s values and patterns of behavior, but also fostering the values and customs of their countries of origin.

My goal is to build up a new model that focuses on the role of the Latino family while drawing on other relevant partial models so as to be able to spell out a set of testable hypotheses. This theoretical framework is intended to serve as groundwork for grant proposal writing for family-and school-based program implementation and evaluation aimed at reducing the severity of the problem. To that aim I will trace down, first, the theories underlying those preventive intervention programs that have been shown to be effective in dealing with teen’s sexual risk behavior and will also assess the determinant factors of their empirical outcomes. Second, I will adopt as a ground resource that program that best embodies the core variables of our etiological model while leaving out or modifying those aspects that do not so closely fit our model. In the selection of that best fitting program, I will be guided by a set of testable hypotheses that are derived from the various comprehensive reviews Douglas Kirby (1994) has conducted on this area of concern.

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
