Abstract
- A nonreactive, observational research method was used to measure AIDS information-seeking behavior of patients on four drug and alcohol inpatient units at a large public hospital in New York City. Results showed only 23 inquiries from 271 male and female patients over a six-week interval. Possible explanations and implications of these results are discussed.
