Abstract


Paper  AIDS Surveillance with GIS
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Tabatha L. Aboumrad

Over the last seven years, the number of new AIDS cases each year in San Diego County has decreased, but not uniformly in each ethnic group or area of San Diego. In this presentation, GIS was used to examine trends of AIDS cases over time so that areas of consistently high rates, as well as the differences in rates among ethnic groups and transmission modes, could be seen in the six health service regions of San Diego. GIS may be a useful tool in allocating AIDS/HIV resources and preventative programs.
