Social Support Networks and HIV/STI Risk Behaviors Among Latino Immigrants in a New Receiving Environment
The Sexual Networks of Racially Diverse Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
The Role of Geographic and Network Factors in Racial Disparities in HIV Among Young Men Who have Sex with Men: An Egocentric Network Study
Structural Bridging Network Position is Associated with HIV Status in a Younger Black Men Who Have Sex with Men Epidemic
The analysis of multiple ties in longitudinal egocentric network data: A case study on bidirectional relationships between trust and drug use
Quantifying the Benefits of Link-Tracing Designs for Partnership Network Studies
Difficult-to-reach populations are frequently sampled through various link tracing-based designs, which rely on interpersonal networks to identify members of the population. This article examines the substantive returns to one such multiple-link tracing design in the Colorado Springs "project 90" human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk networks study. Cross-links were respondents who were targeted for enrollment because of being named as partners…
Prevalence of Male Clients of Street Prostitute Women in the United States
Survey estimates of the prevalence of clients of prostitute women are biased because men underreport sex with prostitutes. We conducted capture-recapture analyses of prostitution arrest records in several United States metropolitan areas and found that about two to three percent of adult male residents patronized local street prostitutes during observation periods of two to five years. An estimate from Colorado Springs, based on the prevalence of…
Using Knowledge of Social Networks to Prevent Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections: The Colorado Springs Study
The development of an applied social science research project with implications for the management of infectious diseases is described. The project evolved out of a multidisciplinary effort to understand how sexually transmissible agents enter into social systems, are transmitted and can be identified, prevented and controlled. Collaborators began their investigations in the 1970s by looking at the social and behavioral patterns of individuals in…
Pathways to prostitution: The chronology of sexual and drug abuse milestones
To assess the sequence, timing, and prevalence of sexual and illegal drug use milestones in prostitute women, we interviewed 237 prostitutes in the community and 407 comparison women at an STD clinic. Drug use was more commonly reported by prostitutes than comparisons (86% vs. 23%), as was non‐consensual prepubertal sex (32% vs. 13%). Sexual‐ and drug‐related milestones occurred in the same order in both groups, with drug use preceding sexual act…

Social networks and infectious disease: The Colorado Springs study
HIV Infection in an Urban Social Network: A Progress Report
The completion of the second year of the Colorado Springs Study provided new insights into the location of HIV infection in a large urban social network. About 250 persons were interviewed by the end of the second year and provided information on over 3500 reported social relationships. Roughly 2000 persons were found to be part of a core connected region which included six individuals confirmed HIV positive. The density of social ties in this co…
Estimating the prevalence and career longevity of prostitute women
Reliable empiric estimates of the prevalence and career longevity of prostitute women in the United States are not currently available. We analyze data from our continuous observation of such women in Colorado Springs, during nearly two decades, starting in 1970. Of the 1,022 prostitute women observed, 52.5% are classified as evanescent, 12.1% as short‐term, and 35.3% as long‐term residents. Comparison with police prostitution records suggests th…
