This book focuses "on the needs of AIDS patients who remain vulnerable to both the disease and mainstream treatment regimens and who have been underserved by both traditional models of community-based services and service delivery programs." Much effort needs to be focused on medical and support services for uninsured and underinsured, low-income persons with HIV/AIDS. These are the individuals who are most vulnerable and who ultimately pose a risk for others. Information needs to be gathered and analyzed so that better service can be proposed and implemented. The six papers cover: "Introduction: Evaluating HIV/AIDS Treatment Programs for Underserved and Vulnerable Patients, Innovative Methods and Findings," "Finding the Underserved: Directions for HIV Care in the Future," "Unmet Needs in Groups of Traditionally Underserved Individuals with HIV/AIDS: Empirical Models," "Perceived Barriers to Receiving HIV Services in Groups of Traditionally Underserved Individuals: Empirical Models," "Satisfaction with Innovate Community and University Health Clinic Programs for Groups of Traditionally Underserved Individuals with HIV/AIDS: Empirical Models," and "Satisfaction with Services in Innovative Managed Care Programs for Groups of Traditionally Underserved Individuals with HIV/AIDS; Empirical Models." This is a recommended book for all academic and medical libraries.
