 AB    College students (N = 274) from five ethnic groups were administered an
       AIDS information questionnaire and the Attitudes Toward AIDS Scale
       (ATAS; Goh, in press) to determine the effects of AIDS information on
       attitudes toward AIDS. A series of chi-squares and multivariate analyses
       of variance indicated significant differences among ethnic groups on the
       usage of HIV/AIDS information, the self-reported degree of knowledge
       about HIV/AIDS, measured knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS-related
       attitudes. Besides ethnicity, access to HIV/AIDS information and
       self-reported degree of knowledge about AIDS had significant effects on
       a person's measured knowledge of and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS.
