  • Title: [AIDS-related mortality among Puerto Rican women in New York City, 1981-87].
    Author: Menéndez BS.
    Journal: P R Health Sci J; 1990 Apr; 9(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 2270256.
    Abstract:
    The present study analyzes the impact of AIDS on the mortality experience of Puerto Rican women in New York City for the time period 1981-1987. This study shows that Puerto Rican women in New York City are at higher risk for AIDS than any other racial or ethnic group. Economic and sociocultural factors in the Puerto Rican community related to the use of intravenous drug use, as well as trends in migration and marriage, are associated to the high risk of AIDS in this group. This information is of particular interest for Puerto Rico and New York City given the migration patterns of Puerto Ricans traveling between Puerto Rico and New York City.
