Research Question Selection Question

What is the effectiveness of UNICEF in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS?

Who receives UNICEF aid?◦ Aid Needed vs. Aid

received

HypothesisCountries that receive higher

amounts of aid are more successful in raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and preventing mother-to-child transmission, but not necessarily in prolonging the life of infected infants and children or in preventing the infection of adolescents.

Testing the HypothesisTesting Method

◦ Look at the correlation between amount aid received if any and 1) the number of MTCT, 2) the number of infected children being treated, and 3) number of adolescents newly infected.

◦ Compare the results for countries with varying amounts of aid including those countries that received no aid.
