Study Notes

Chapter 4: Analysis and Interpretation of Results

Introduction: Data analysis is necessary to test hypotheses and answer research questions. Data interpretation is descriptive. The chapter analyses data from two phases - a quantitative analysis of questionnaires and a qualitative interpretation of interviews and focus groups.

Phase One: Quantitative Interpretation of Results

Analysis of Questionnaires:
- Of 400 questionnaires distributed, only 380 were completed and used for analysis.
- 20 questionnaires were discarded. These were questionnaires from non-workshop attendees, incomplete responses, and those with missing data.
- The analysis presents data in tabular form, sometimes combining variables.
- Frequencies and percentages are used to summarize responses.

How Many Times Workshop Attended

Table 1: Only 4 subjects (1.0%) did not attend any AIDS education workshops.
- 156 (40.6%) attended once.
- 207 (53.9%) attended more than once, but less than 5 times.
- 14 (3.6%) attended more than 5 times but less than 10 times.
- 3 (0.7%) attended more than 10 times.

Age Category

Table 2: Age group breakdown of subjects who completed the questionnaires.
- The percentage distribution reflects impartiality in questionnaire distribution.

HIV Blood Test

Table 3: Blood test results.
- 116 subjects (30.5%) had taken an HIV blood test.
- 264 subjects (69.5%) had not taken a test.

148 subjects (58.4%) felt the language used was figurative.

11 subjects (11.6%) felt the use of Sepedi lacked medical terms.
26 subjects (27.4%) suggested employing English to impress the audience.
58 subjects (61%) felt it was used to avoid offense.
