As part of a larger study designed to provide an AIDS education and prevention program for low-income black and Latina women in Los Angeles County, a pilot study of black (n = 51) and Latina (n = 56) womens' AIDS related knowledge, attitudes and practices was conducted to gather baseline data and to test an instrument that would measure these variables. The factors underlying the instrument were identified and reliability coefficients were determined. The need for changes in the format and administration of the instrument was identified due to nonresponse to some items. There were sociodemographic differences between the two groups of women as well as differences in knowledge and attitudes. In general, black women had more knowledge of AIDS than Latina women and more positive attitudes. Practices did not differ. Both groups denied drug use and multiple sexual partners.
