ABSTRACT: In this
article an HIV and AIDS group work programme empowering adolescents to deal
with the possible death of their parents/caregivers will be evaluated in a
quantitative fashion. The data were obtained by means of the Child Functioning
Inventory High School (CFI-HIGH) developed by Perspective Training College and
the Generalized Contentment Scale (GCS) of Hudson (Bloom et al., 1999: 220). The
guidelines for selection and inclusion of respondents in the comparison and experimental groups will be discussed,
followed by information on the measuring instruments. The article will conclude
with conclusions and recommendations.
