The Male-Call Project, 1992: File pub

The Male-Call Project's objective was to examine homosexually active men's knowledge of HIV and AIDS and their sexual practice, and how these relate to a number of demographic and contextual variables. It was also used to develop a set of core questions that could be used as a set of indicators for monitoring HIV-related knowledge and adoption of safe sexual strategies among men who have sex with men in Australia. Main variables include sexual identity, gay community and social involvement, sexual practice - enjoyment, frequency (regular and casual partners) and sexual history, media exposure, general AIDS knowledge and attitudes, 'safe sex' knowledge and practice, change in sexual practice, sex with women, prostitution, health practices, drugs, testing, relationship to people with AIDS. Background variables include age, country of birth, ethnicity, accommodation, labour force status, occupation, income, level of education, religion, marital status, and parenthood.
