Book excerpt: NPIN 30425: "This report serves as a companion document to the full survey findings, which are published in The AIDS Epidemic At 20 Years: The View from America. Its findings are based on a nationally representative telephone survey of 2,683 adults 18 and older conducted in both English and Spanish and examines Latinos' view of HIV/AIDS, including differences between Latino subgroups. Where data are available, analyses of changing attitudes over time are also provided. The survey indicates that Latinos are concerned about the epidemic and that attitudes toward HIV/AIDS vary significantly by race and ethnicity, with Latinos expressing more concern and urgency about the epidemic than the public overall. In addition, views within the Lation population vary significantly by income, education, language, and age."
