AIDS services in Florida: who's doing what, and who's paying for it? 1997

P L Cruise
Florida Atlantic University, USA.

The rapid growth of AIDS in the 1980s was paralleled by a rapid growth in AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) throughout the United States. This article examines one state, Florida, and the 52 ASOs to determine each ASOs organizational affiliation, major types of service offered, sources of funding, and geographic dispersion in the state. Based on the results of this examination, several research and policy implications are discussed.
