Adolescents of HIV/AIDS parents’ require twice as careful as they live in dual risks. In general Adolescents have poor Contextually Relevant Sexuality Knowledge (CRSK) due to lack of access to scientific information and sources. There are various programmes being implemented to the target groups by different agencies. But the level of Contextually Relevant Sexuality Knowledge (CRSK) is not up to the mark and hence the study is aimed to measure the impact of participation through online mobile programmes (m-Learning) and the results are correlated to socio-economic variables and daily habits for better understanding. The results showed that greater proportion of the respondents had only moderate level of CRSK. There was a significant mean difference between the educational status of the fathers and mothers of the respondents and the level of CRSK of the adolescents. There was no significant mean difference between the level ofCRSK and the family type of the respondents. There was a significant mean difference between the annual family income and the level of CRSKof the respondents. The respondents who had high level of participation in HIV/AIDS awareness programmes had statistically significant higher mean score. While planning Interventional strategies using latest ICT gadgets are essential.

Abstract


Adolescents of HIV/AIDS parents’ require twice as careful as they live in dual risks. In general Adolescents have poor Contextually Relevant Sexuality Knowledge (CRSK) due to lack of access to scientific information and sources. There are various programmes being implemented to the target groups by different agencies. But the level of Contextually Relevant Sexuality Knowledge (CRSK) is not up to the mark and hence the study is aimed to measure the impact of participation through online mobile programmes (m-Learning) and the results are correlated to socio-economic variables and daily habits for better understanding. The results showed that greater proportion of the respondents had only moderate level of CRSK. There was a significant mean difference between the educational status of the fathers and mothers of the respondents and the level of CRSK of the adolescents. There was no significant mean difference between the level ofCRSK and the family type of the respondents. There was a significant mean difference between the annual family income and the level of CRSKof the respondents. The respondents who had high level of participation in HIV/AIDS awareness programmes had statistically significant higher mean score. While planning Interventional strategies using latest ICT gadgets are essential.
