我们的目标是确定低收入女性在健康、人际关系和社会问题方面的优先事项。对 161 名低收入城市女性（平均 27 岁，85% 为非洲裔美国人，80% 为单身母亲）进行了街头拦截调查，了解她们对 48 种健康和社会问题相关威胁的看法。女性将获得性免疫缺陷综合症（艾滋病）视为她们最重要的健康、社会或关系问题。近一半的女性表示她们将参加降低风险项目，以学习如何避免感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）。艾滋病被认为是对妇女健康的严重威胁，减少风险的干预措施受到欢迎。
Our objective was to determine the priorities of low-income women regarding health, relationship, and social concerns. Street-intercept surveys were conducted with 161 low-income urban women (mean = 27 years, 85% African American, 80% single mothers) regarding their perceptions of the threat associated with 48 health and social problems. Women rated acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) as their most important health, social, or relationship concern. Nearly one half of all women indicated that they would attend risk reduction programs to learn how to avoid infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS is perceived as a serious threat to women's health, and interventions to reduce risk are welcomed.
