AIDS among students?
AIDS in the Education System
Education is another major factor in AIDS prevalence, so I considered the percent of a race enrolled in K-12. For the % of White and Hispanic or Latino populations enrolled in Kindergarten -12th grade, I found significant negative correlations, however a slightly yet insignificant positive correlation for the Black population. The two graphs demonstrate the rates and again, even excluding the couple outlying points there is still a significant negative correlation. The reasoning for the negative correlation is simple: the more children enrolled in schools will have a greater awareness of AIDS prevention and not engage in risky behavior.
