Author: Amaro, Hortensia
Date Published: 1991
This report considers the prevailing assumption that outreach and education programs appropriate for African or Anglo-American populations will be successful with Hispanics and discusses the results of a project to determine the needs of the Hispanic community in the U.S. Northeast and Puerto Rico for information, education, risk reduction and services related to AIDS/HIV. This needs assessment was designed to yield information as to the level of familiarity with modes of HIV transmission and the level of misconceptions about HIV transmission in the Hispanic community. It also sought to discover demographic characteristics associated with the level of knowledge and misconceptions about HIV transmission.
