Mental Health Disparities
Mental health disparities have received increased attention in the literature in recent years. After considering 165 different health disparity conditions, the Federal Collaborative for Health Disparities Research chose mental health disparity as one of four topics warranting its immediate national research attention. In this essay, we describe the challenges and opportunities encountered in developing a research agenda to address mental health d…
Distribution of HIV type 1 infection in childbearing women in California
The incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is increasing among California heterosexuals and children. To assess human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection in childbearing women, we conducted a blinded serosurvey of newborns. Dried blood specimens taken from 99% of California births during the third quarter of 1988 (n = 135,808) and linked only to maternal demographic categories were tested for HIV-1 antibody by enzyme immunoas…
Human T-Cell Lymphotrophic Virus in California's Injection Drug Users
Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus I (HTLV-I) and human T-cell lymphotrophic virus II (HTLV-II) are closely related retroviruses that are highly prevalent in injection drug users (IDUs). The bulk of infection in this group probably occurs with HTLV-II, with a lower prevalence of HTLV-I. HTLV-I is known to cause adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and tropical spastic paraparesis. HTLV-II has not been proven to cause any human pathology, but may be immun…
