Major Needs and Vulnerabilities of Patients at Individual Projects
Links
to Information About the Properties of the Service Populations of 17
Projects
As of June 15, 1999, 17 Cooperative Agreement Projects had, in
aggregate, provided services to 2579 men with HIV and 2225 women with HIV/AIDS.
Detailed information about various risk behaviors was available for a
subsample of 1176 men and 1606 women.
The links below show the service
population at each of 17 projects that served individual clients. The
intent of this presentation of individual project treatment
populations is not to directly compare projects. Rather, the treatment
models of individual projects, and the cross-cutting evaluation of the
projects in the aggregate, requires an understanding of the treatment
populations at the different projects.
Differences in
the size and needs of the treatment populations at specific projects
are attributable to a number of factors including: a) differences in
funding levels for the projects; b) the geographic catchment areas; c)
the fact that some projects are specifically targeted to individuals
of a given gender, ethnic-racial background, language, or age; and d)
differences in the service models (community-based psychosocial
supports, medical services within a university-based comprehensive
healthcare clinic, medical services in an HIV/AIDS managed care
program).

The HIV/AIDS
patients who received services had a large number of service needs and
vulnerabilities. The following graph shows the average number at each project.
Note that the green
bars represent the distribution among clients of total needs and vulnerabilities
