| The main themes of this poster session are surveillance issues, impact of mental health on various dimensions relating to HIV/AIDS, and service use. Three of the posters examine STI/HIV incidence in different geographical settings, taking into account gender and race, and how estimates are calculated. Several of the posters are concerned with mental health problems as they relate to socio-demographics, physical health, substance use, HIV risk behaviors, and service usage among vulnerable population groups. The remaining posters address the issue of health status among homeless persons and HIV+ individuals. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Articulate current surveillance estimates for HIV incidence in different cities and states and how these estimates are derived. 2. Describe the associations between HIV, mental health problems, socio-demographics, psychological distress, substance use, and service access/use among vulnerable segments of the population. 3. Recognize the impact of mental health status on the well-being of persons who are homeless, residing in urban settings, residing within the criminal justice setting, and/or engaging in high risk sexual behaviors. | ||||
