Using CHAMP to prevent youth HIV risk in South Africa. Collaborative HIV/AIDS and Mental Health Project (CHAMP) 2003-06: Child measures - KwaZulu-Natal

Description:
The child data set includes the responses of 579 children in families of which the reponses have been recorded of manual-based sessions done on groups of families with pre-adolescent children (9-11 years) and evaluated using a treatment versus no treatment repeated-measures design. Each session of the manual covers ten topics that include children's rights and responsibilities; parental styles; communication; puberty; hard to talk about issues; risky environmental influences; understanding HIV/AIDS; dealing with stigma; surviving loss and bereavement; developing support networks. The effect of the intervention was measured along all of these dimensions. This data set contains the responses of both the pre-test and the post-test. The responses of the pre- and post-test were merged into one data set.
Abstract:
The primary aim of CHAMP was to apply a community collaborative partnership model to the adaptation, implementation and evaluation of a family - and community-based HIV preventive intervention that targets pre - and early adolescents in South Africa. The CHAMP Family Program was developed for low income, urban and predominantly ethnic minority populations in the United States. CHAMP is a developmentally-timed HIV prevention programme targeting youth and their families before youth become sexually active (9-11 years) in Kwadwdangendlale, a peri-urban township located about 30km outside of Durban. The adapted CHAMP SA programme, also known as the Amaqhawe programme, was delivered through a series of manual-based sessions to groups of families with pre-adolescent children (10-11 years) and evaluated using a treatment versus no treatment repeated-measures design. Each session of the manual covers ten topics that include children's rights and responsibilities; parental styles; communication; puberty; hard to talk about issues; risky environmental influences; understanding HIV/AIDS; dealing with stigma; surviving loss and bereavement; developing support networks. The effect of the intervention was measured along all of these dimensions.

### 数据集描述（Description）
该儿童数据集收录了579名来自不同家庭的儿童的调研反馈，相关反馈来源于针对9-11岁青春期前儿童家庭群体开展的基于指导手册的辅导课程（manual-based sessions），并采用「干预组vs无干预对照组」重复测量设计（repeated-measures design）进行效果评估。该指导手册的每一节课程涵盖十大主题，包括：儿童权利与义务、父母教养方式、沟通技巧、青春期发育、难以启齿的议题、潜在环境风险影响、艾滋病病毒（HIV）与艾滋病（AIDS）认知、病耻感应对、丧亲创伤与悲痛应对、支持网络构建。干预效果通过上述所有维度进行评估。本数据集同时包含前测与后测的反馈数据，并将前后测的反馈整合为单一数据集。

### 摘要（Abstract）
CHAMP（CHAMP）项目的核心目标是应用社区协作伙伴关系模型，针对南非的青春期前及早期青少年，完成以家庭与社区为基础的艾滋病预防干预方案的适配、落地与评估。CHAMP家庭项目最初是为美国低收入、城市且以少数族裔为主体的人群开发的。位于德班市郊约30公里的近郊城镇Kwadwdangendlale中，CHAMP是一款基于发育时序的艾滋病预防项目，旨在针对性活跃期前（9-11岁）的青少年及其家庭开展干预。适配后的CHAMP南非项目（亦称为Amaqhawe项目）通过一系列基于指导手册的辅导课程，面向10-11岁青春期前儿童的家庭群体开展，并采用「干预组vs无干预对照组」的重复测量设计进行效果评估。该指导手册的每一节课程涵盖十大主题，包括：儿童权利与义务、父母教养方式、沟通技巧、青春期发育、难以启齿的议题、潜在环境风险影响、艾滋病病毒（HIV）与艾滋病（AIDS）认知、病耻感应对、丧亲创伤与悲痛应对、支持网络构建。干预效果通过上述所有维度进行评估。
