1 Corresponds to Youth Guide Determinants <strong>Indicator</strong> 15 "Adults support of education<br />
about condom use to prevent HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> among young people"<br />
The data show that only 3 in 10 adults agree that children age 12-14 should be taught about using<br />
a condom to avoid <strong>AIDS</strong>. There is little difference in attitudes by age. Attitudes do vary greatly by<br />
education <strong>and</strong> across the targeted provinces. The proportion who support educating children in schools<br />
about condom use increases steadily with increasing education of the respondent. A higher proportion of<br />
people in the North support educating children about condom use than do people in the Central <strong>and</strong> South<br />
regions.<br />
