Cultural Practices of Hispanics
Specific cultural practices of Hispanics were assessed with regard to condom use as an AIDS prevention measure. The sample of 190 Hispanics, including 117 males and 73 females, were mostly young adults who had recently immigrated to the western part of the United States.

Although the total calls and suicide-threat calls reached statistical significance, the findings failed to support the lunar theory. F…
