| Research Abstract |
In this study, I examined HIV/AIDS prevention measures in Japanese companies operating overseas by incorporating theories and methodologies of health policy and health communication into medical anthropology. Specifically, I put forth three propositions for HIV/AIDS prevention measures in companies that were developed through consecutive medical anthropological studies in an industrial estate in northern Thailand. I then implemented and evaluated a model measure that was developed based on the three propositions. The results suggest that an effective HIV/AIDS prevention measure, in terms of feasibility and continuity, is one that entails the perspective of "company-led public health," in which companies collaborate with local communities to deal with HIV/AIDS issues in the communities.
