The present study analyzes the impact of AIDS on the mortality experience of Puerto Rican women in New York City for the time period 1981-1987. This study shows that Puerto Rican women in New York City are at higher risk for AIDS than any other racial or ethnic group. Economic and sociocultural factors in the Puerto Rican community related to the use of intravenous drug use, as well as trends in migration and marriage, are associated to the high risk of AIDS in this group. This information is of particular interest for Puerto Rico and New York City given the migration patterns of Puerto Ricans traveling between Puerto Rico and New York City.
本研究分析了1981年至1987年期间艾滋病对纽约市波多黎各女性死亡率的影响。这项研究表明，纽约市的波多黎各女性比任何其他种族或族裔群体感染艾滋病的风险更高。波多黎各社区中与静脉注射吸毒相关的经济和社会文化因素，以及移民和婚姻趋势，都与该群体感染艾滋病的高风险有关。鉴于波多黎各人在波多黎各和纽约市之间的迁移模式，这一信息对波多黎各和纽约市尤为重要。
