正在进行一项研究，在霍伊马、伊甘加、卡巴莱、马萨卡、姆巴莱和姆巴拉拉地区艾滋病相关死亡率高的情况下，审查家庭组成和家庭结构。研究的第一阶段涉及审查关于六个地区人口的人种学材料，通过重点小组讨论从老年人和年轻人那里收集信息，以及管理个人老年人问卷。第二阶段是在各区进行大规模的住户调查，以记录家庭组成和家庭结构的最新变化，而第三阶段将在第二阶段之后三年进行。最后阶段将涉及对第二阶段复盖的地区进行重新调查，以确定社区随后发生的任何变化。本文介绍了第一阶段的焦点小组讨论结果。参赛的231名男性和218名女性的年龄分别为19-92岁和14-92岁。根据焦点小组的讨论，婚姻习俗和习俗似乎随着时间的推移而发生了变化，这是由于与社会经济发展、现代化和西方文化有关的因素。最近婚姻的变化与该国的艾滋病疫情密切相关。由于担心潜在伴侣的艾滋病毒血清呈阳性，男孩和女孩都不愿结婚，而配偶之间的相互一夫一妻制，特别是年轻人，似乎越来越受欢迎。然而，许多习俗仍然存在，如父母参与介绍和谈判儿童婚姻、彩礼、嫁妆、婚前对男孩进行割礼、对与女孩私奔的男孩处以罚款，以及在婚姻中奖励童贞。
A study is being conducted to examine household composition and family structure in the context of high AIDS-related mortality in Hoima, Iganga, Kabale, Masaka, Mbale, and Mbarara districts. The first phase of the study involved the review of ethnographic materials on the populations in the six districts, collecting information from elders and youths through focus group discussions, and the administration of an individual elders' questionnaire. The second phase was a large-scale household survey in the districts to document recent changes in household composition and family structure, while phase three will be carried out three years after the second phase. That final phase will involve re-surveying areas covered in phase two to determine any subsequent changes which have occurred in the communities. This paper presents the focus group discussion results from phase one. The participating 231 men and 218 women were aged 19-92 years and 14-92 years, respectively. It appears on the basis of the focus group discussions that marriage customs and practices have changed over time due to factors related to socioeconomic development, modernization, and Western culture. Recent changes in marriage have been closely connected with the AIDS epidemic in the country. The fear of potential partners being HIV-seropositive makes boys and girls reluctant to marry, while mutual monogamy among spouses, especially the young, seems to be gaining popularity. Many customs, however, still persist, such as parental participation in the introduction and negotiation for children's marriages, bride price, dowry, circumcision of boys before marriage, fining boys who elope with girls, and rewarding virginity at marriage.
