Factors influencing knowledge of HIV/AIDS in Nepal: role of socioeconomic interactions
Tóm tắt
This paper focuses on analyzing those factors which influence the extent of knowledge about HIV/AIDS in Nepal. The main hypothesis is that the social network that is the foundation for market exchange can also serve as a mechanism for diffusing knowledge concerning this disease. Thus, there is a social spillover effect from market activity. Data drawn from a broad sample of Nepalese households are used to test this proposition, and the results support the hypothesis.
