The Community Vulnerability and Responses to Drug-User-Related HIV/AIDS, 1990-2013 [96 Metropolitan Statistical Areas, United States] study (CVAR) was a research study of why large United States Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) vary over time in their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among drug users and in MSA responses to HIV/AIDS. This collection contains estimates of HIV prevalence among people who injected drugs (PWID) and among sub-populations of PWID. This collection is comprised of ten datasets with differing amounts of variables and provides trend data that describe the following:
The collection contains data on the MSA sub-populations including Black, Hispanic, White and "other" race categories. In addition, some statistics are presented in age range categories such as ages 15-29, 30-64 and 15-64.

The MSA variable is present in all 10 datasets and represents the Metropolitan Statistical Area Federal Information Processing Standards (Fips) code. This variable can be used to link data between datasets. However, be advised that MSA is not a unique identifier within all datasets. Therefore, users should take care to transform the necessary variables before merging datasets.
Some of the data used to contruct the datasets for this study are available through NAHDAP. See the following links for more information on the N-SSATS and TEDS studies:
This study was conducted to help understand the forces that shape metropolitan area HIV/AIDS epidemics and prevention programs and provide data to inform future policy making decision regarding HIV/AIDS. The study data are intended to provide information on several relationships including:
Longitudinal trend data on 96 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States were compiled from secondary sources to provide information on epidemiologic factors, evidence based interventions, and non-evidence based intervention that contribute to changes in community vulnerability to drug-user-related HIV/AIDS. The principal investigators used these data to create novel variables.
Some of the secondary data sources used include:

2017-08-08 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.
