Abstract
Mailed questionnaires & interview data collected in 1992 from health care organizations & acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) service organizations in Baltimore, MD, & Oakland, CA (N = 62 & 45, respectively) are used to assess: organization data; barriers to access; & satisfaction with service delivery, referral resources, & financial resources. Although the magnitude of the AIDS epidemic was similar in the 2 cities, 74% of the Oakland cases were homosexual or bisexual males & 63% were white; in Baltimore, proportions were 47% & 30%. Private, nonprofit, community-based organizations were more common in Oakland & hospital-affiliated providers were more common in Baltimore. The 2 cities had a common set of core functions, but they were proportioned differently, More than 50% of the respondents expressed little satisfaction with case management referral resources & indicated that special needs of children, women, & families were not being met. 5 Tables, 2 Figures.
