Yale School of Medicine & National Latino Research Center Sponsor AIDS Research Symposium
The National Latino Research Center and the Yale University School of Medicine are sponsoring a free but competitive seminar series for Hispanic researchers addressing drug use and HIV/AIDS within the Hispanic population.
The teleconferenced symposium, which links San Diego and New Haven communities, will begin on November 19, 1999 and will meet monthly through March 2000. The symposium series is expected to attract nationally recognized Hispanic scholars and provide a unique opportunity for scholars on both coasts to discuss health and drug use and HIV/AIDS within the Hispanic population.
Hispanics make up less than 11% of the U.S. population but account for 18% of the AIDS cases reported to the Center for Disease Control as of June 1999. Of the male Hispanics with AIDS, 42% are categorized as injecting drug users. Drug use is one of the primary means of spreading HIV among Latinos.
Applications are now being accepted. Registration for the Conference will begin immediately n a first-come-first-serve basis and is limited to space availability. Anyone interested in participating can visit our website at http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/dept/nlrc or call the National Latino Research Center at (619) 594-3640.
The National Latino Research Center was established in 1998 to promote scientific and culturally relevant research, training and the exchange of information on Latino populations in the U.S.
