News Briefs Boston University to Evaluate Springfield AIDS Treatment ProgramNovember 11, 2002 Boston University will monitor an HIV/AIDS treatment program for the Springfield, Mass., Hispanic community to determine if culturally sensitive services targeted to Hispanic heroin users increase their entry into drug treatment, testing and prevention programs. It is hoped that the five-year study, funded by a $2.5 million Department of Health and Human Services grant to Tapestry Health Systems, will reduce the rate of HIV/AIDS in Springfield. Springfield, the 71st most populous city in the nation, is ranked 24th for its HIV/AIDS rate. Hispanics, who make up a quarter of Springfield’s population, make up more than half of the city’s residents with HIV/AIDS.
