    1999 Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs & Behaviors Survey
    (Center for applied Demography & Survey Research, 2000) Ratledge, Edward C.
    The survey of Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Behaviors (KABB) was conducted in 1998 and 1999 throughout Delaware. This survey collects information from a subset of Delawareans who are concerned with their HIV status. It examines the participants’ knowledge about HIV and where they obtain their information. It measures sexual behavior and assesses an individual’s concerns about any associated risk. Substance abuse behavior is also addressed since there is evidence that individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol may engage in risky behavior.

It considers behaviors connected with an increased risk of disease, premature death, and disability. In 2016, BRFS surveyed 4,057 adults in Delaware aged 18 and older.
