CROSS-CASE ANALYSIS OF PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS ANALYSIS OF THE PERCEPTION OF HIV/AIDS RISK FACTORS IN STUDY SITES
8.4 Limitations of Study
This study has a number of limitations. One of these is the sample of respondents during the fieldwork. The demographic composition of respondents indicated that there are people that are more educated (higher institution of learning) in the interview and focus group discussion sessions. This has the potential of skewing the assessments of risk factors by the respondents at each study area. It could also have an impact on the implementation of management strategies.
Another limitation is inadequate secondary data at the micro-level for geospatial analysis. Due to incompleteness, some questionnaires were removed and thrown out from the PCA analysis.
Although these were few, nevertheless they are likely to have had an impact on the final result.
Apart from the equal number of males and females in the study, other demographics might also have an impact on the perceptions of assessment of HIV/AIDS risk factors. For example, more Christians and married people were sampled for this study, which could affect the assessment of risks.
