Urban Congregations' Capacity for HIV Prevention and Care (ICPSR 35918)
Released/updated on: 2015-06-09
Geographic coverage: United States
This study examines the implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities. It conducts site visits and interviews with pastoral and lay leaders at 12 congregations of varying denomination, ethnicity, and size in Los Angeles County, half of which have implemented HIV/AIDS programs and half of which have not but are otherwise comparable. A telephone survey of 800 congregations in areas disproportionately affected by AIDS is also conducted to investigate factors associated with congregant involvement. The effects of community characteristics are examined by compiling neighborhood-level data on socioeconomic status, ethnic diversity, community need, and so forth.
