A modified version of the Centers for Disease Control's Health Risk Survey was administered to 11th and 12th grade students (N = 2,483) in homerooms from nine schools in one southeastern community. Knowledge was based on cumulative responses to 12 questions. Many adolescents incorrectly answered seven questions. Based on multivariate analysis of variance, lower AIDS knowledge was associated with no prior school-based AIDS education (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001), previous IV drug use (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001), and being Black or "other" ethnic group (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001). Based on interaction effects, Hispanics not receiving AIDS education in school (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001) and Black and "other" ethnic group IV drug users (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0011) had a lower AIDS knowledge. When controlling for AIDS knowledge level (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001), higher perceived risk of current infection with HIV was associated with previous IV drug use (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001). However, previous IV drug users who received AIDS education (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.0001) or where from Black or "other" ethnic group (p [is not less than or equal to] 0.008) had higher perceived risks of presently having HIV infection.

Hormones and the Brain (Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interacti

Peripheral hormones have a major impact on the brain: they are able to interfere with its development, to affect release of neurotransmitters and concentrations of receptors, to trigger growth factors involved in lesion repair. These multiple actions account for their capacity to modulate a number of physiological parameters, from reproductive functions to memory, behaviour and aging. This book based on contributions of pioneer investigators in the field, outlines the role of hormones in pathogenic processes such as mental disturbances or neurodegenerative diseases.
