520 $a The purpose of this study is to understand how audience members of `Mareledi, an entertainment-education serial television drama in Botswana, create meaning of HIV/AIDS messages communicated through the serial television drama. More specifically, the present study considers how audience members of Mareledi make sense of HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention messages through their involvement with the Mareledi narrative.
520 $a Two qualitative methodologies---focus groups and semi-structured, in-depth interviews---were used to understand how audience members make sense of entertainment-education programs through their involvement with narratives. The narrative paradigm is used as a theoretical framework for the study. The theory suggests that people experience and understand life as a series of ongoing narratives.
520 $a The study revealed that audience members understand and interpret the HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention messages in the drama through a humanistic perspective. While they recognize the sociocultural beliefs and practices that continue to influence the spread of HIV/AIDS in Botswana, audience members try to negotiate their lives within these limitations. More specifically, female audience members were vocal about some of the social and cultural beliefs and practices they do not agree with. However, older men still adhere to these sociocultural beliefs that suppress and disempower women in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Nevertheless, Mareledi presents a predominantly negative depiction of male characters. In this way, the drama fails its charge by negatively stereotyping men. Mareledi needs to include more positive male role models.
520 $a Audience members identified HIV/AIDS message fatigue as an important factor to consider when discussing entertainment interventions in Botswana. They believe HIV/AIDS message fatigue has contributed to a lower risk perception of HIV/AIDS. Therefore entertainment educations in Botswana should widen and vary the scope of the underlying messages from being exclusively about HIV/AIDS to integrate other important health and sociocultural issues.
