[Analysis of the trajectory of care of a cohort of 280 depressive patients. Initial results].

This work presents an analysis instrument and the first results obtained while applying it to 280 depressive patients compared to 496 non-depressive patients who were followed during a 4 year period. The treatment follow-up permits us to present the chronological "history" of the patient's contacts with different services and to establish a classification. One of the interests, for the clinician, consists in specifying the best therapeutical approach possible. A more detailed study should allow us to relate certain patterns with diagnostic subcategories and to determine if the high proportion of short patterns corresponds to the "successful" treatments or to the dropouts.

Socioeconomic differences among people with AIDS: results from a Multistate Surveillance Project.

To characterize the socioeconomic status of persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), 11 U.S. state and city health departments interviewed 2,898 persons > or = 18 years of age reported with AIDS between June 1, 1990, and January 31, 1993. Among men who have sex with men, white men reported the lowest percentage (9%), and Central/South American (50%) and Mexican men (40%) reported the highest percentages not completing 12 years of school. Among intravenous drug users (IDUs), 35% of white men, 64% of black men, 67% of Puerto Rican men, 29% of white women, and 63% of black women had not completed 12 years of school. Overall, 77% of the men and 90% of the women were unemployed; we also found racial/ethnic differences by employment but to a lesser degree than differences in education. Among women, but not among men, differences in household income by race and ethnicity were marked; 76% of white and 91% of black female IDUs reported a household income of $10,000. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programs must be targeted toward the educational level of the populations served, and HIV services must adapt to the financial circumstances of their clientele.
