A participatory approach to promoting AIDS awareness in Thailand

Publication year: 
1995

The article describes how PRA methods have been successfully used to promote AIDS awareness in Thailand. First the participants divide members of their community into as many groups and sub-groups as possible. They then rank the groups according to the level of risk of contracting HIV. In the next exercise participants make connections between the groups, and begin to realise that even those who are not themselves engaged in any risky behaviour are not risk-free.

Interest groups: 
Health workers working at the community level to promote AIDS awareness
