AB  - Based on the World Health Organization's standardized survey inventories 
      assessing AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices (KABP) for 
      adolescents, a written questionnaire was developed and pilot tested among primary 
      school children in Northern Tanzania. Subjects included 472 fifth and sixth 
      graders at four schools in Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions. Results indicated that 
      the large majority of the students understood the questions and were able and 
      willing to complete the survey. Non-response patterns did not seem to be related 
      to the sensitivity of included questions. AIDS-related knowledge and attitudes 
      toward engaging in sexual behavior had acceptable reliability and construct 
      validity when compared with similar surveys in Western countries, while perceived 
      social norms and self-efficacy need further development. KABP questionnaires may 
      serve as a useful method in AIDS-related surveys and evaluation studies among 
      school children in Tanzania if survey instruments are adapted to reflect the 
      local social and cultural context.
