 Topic
An examination of the level of awareness among teenagers in my community on
the topic ‘AIDS’.
 Statement of Problem
The researcher decided to carry out this school-based assessment to examine the
level of awareness among teenagers in his community on the topic ‘AIDS’. There
are about twenty households in the community. The researcher specially chose to
investigate this area of study because he witnessed the detrimental causes of AIDS
on someone after they contracted it. This person eventually died of this virus, and
ever since, the researcher always thought of it utmost importance that everyone
was aware of the all the matters concerning AIDS, especially teenagers, since they
are the ones who will shape the future to come.
 Method of Investigation

means of using a questionnaire.

 Questionnaires offers a quick way to get results.
