Abstract
AIDS Surveillance with GISTrack: 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.
