Ugandan AIDS orphans unfamiliar with health terminology 


Kampala, 20 July-(ANA)-A study conducted among Ugandan youths orphaned by AIDS has found that certain Western terminologies may not be applicable in an African cultural context.

 

The study, published in the African Journal of AIDS Research found that most of the youths were unfamiliar with the term "mental health" even though they could easily identify factors associated with good and bad mental health. (ANA)
