OBJECTIVE: To describe a research project designed to assess the psychosocial support needs of the HIV antibody positive population of Montreal. Since it is evident to professionals within the health and social service network that the demand for psychosocial services far outstrips the available resources, there is a need for concrete data as to the psychosocial service needs of the HIV antibody positive population. There is presently no concrete data available from the point of view of the affected group. It is hoped that results of the data collection and analysis will enable us to make recommendation to the government with respect to the adequacy or inadequacy of services provided in Montreal. METHOD: A questionnaire will be administered to a sample of 300 HIV positive persons attending hospitals and community clinics. The questionnaire will be presented by the physician and trained personnel will be available to answer questions should the patient wish assistance. RESULTS: Some preliminary results of data collected will be presented and discussed.
