This study identifies and describes HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) of middle aged and older Latinas. The rate of new cases of HIV in people age 45 and older is rapidly increasing, with a 40.6% increase in the numbers of older Latinas infected with HIV between 1998 and 2002. Despite this increase, there is paucity of research on this population. This research seeks to address the gap through a secondary data analysis of Latina women. The aim of this study is twofold: (1) Develop and empirically test a multivariate model of VCT utilization for middle aged and older Latinas; (2) To test how the three individual components of the Andersen Behavioral Model impact VCT for middle aged and older Latinas. The study is organized around the three major domains of the Andersen Behavioral Model of service use that include: (a) predisposing factors; (b) enabling characteristics and (c) need. Logistic regression using structural equation modeling techniques were used to test multivariate relationships of variables on VCT for a sample of 135 middle age and older Latinas residing in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Over 60% of participants had been tested for HIV. Provider endorsement was found to he the strongest predictor of VCT (odds ration [OR] 6.38), followed by having a clinic as a regular source of healthcare (OR=3.88). Significant negative associations with VCT included self rated health status (OR=.592); Age (OR=.927); Spanish proficiency (OR=.927); number of sexual partners (OR=.613) and consumption of alcohol during sexual activity (.549). As this line of inquiry provides a critical glimpse into the VCT of older Latinas, recommendations for enhanced service provision and research will he offered.

Among Latinos, Santería functions as both a religion and a health care system in occurrences of health versus illness within various Latino sub-groups in the U.S. This exploratory study offers a comprehensive analysis of the function of the folk healing tradition Santería as a culturally congruent informal mental health support that assists with coping with the psychosocial sequelae of living with cancer among Latinas in Miami-Dade County, FL. It (a) determined the attitudes of Latinas living with cancer towards Santería as an informal mental health support and (b) explored how Santería offers Latinas effective mental health support that assists in coping with the psychosocial sequelae of living with cancer. The mechanisms and characteristics underlying the motivations of Latinas living with cancer to seek and integrate this informal modality for their cancer care were identified. A purposive sample of 15 Latinas ages 18 and older in Miami-Dade County who had received a diagnosis of cancer were recruited from sites in Miami-Dade offering formal mental health support services and botánicas. Data collection incorporated in-depth interviews and a validation focus group. In an effort to generate theory through a modified Grounded Theory approach, data analysis was accomplished by means of multiple coding passes and the constant comparison method which resulted in higher levels codes that were grouped into three major themes: 1) Participants’ Experience with Folk Healers, 2) Influence of Santería on the Cancer Experience, and 3) Participants’ Experience with Conventional Healthcare and Mental Healthcare. Results illustrate how, among Latinas, the folk healing tradition of Santería co-occurs with professional medical and mental health treatment in what Arthur Kleinman defines as the popular sector, which identifies and sets the parameters for culturally acceptable forms of healthcare and mental health treatment options.

La historia de las subscriptiones latinas revela alteraciones tanto en su frecuencia como en el tipo de información que transmiten, y en consecuencia también en su función. En un primer momento proporcionan datos escuetos con una finalidad práctica: la identificación del contenido de un libro concreto. En la Antigüedad tardía su número aumenta y transmiten mayor volumen de información, pero sobre todo adquieren relevancia los individuos que las firman, convirtiéndose en un instrumento de autorrepresentación social. Sin embargo, en época posterior estas subscriptiones tardoantiguas se siguen copiando en nuevos manuscritos y pierden su relación inicial con un ejemplar concreto; se transforman en paratextos que contribuyen a dar prestigio, ya no a un libro singular, sino a un autor o una obra.

Esencialmente nuestra Tesis consta de tres partes. La primera es la dedicada a la Biografía del autor, Francisco Sánchez Barbero. La hemos realizado utilizando como fuentes sus propios textos. Esta reconstrucción de su vida está hecha con mucho mayor detalle y detenimiento que en las biografías precedentes, además nos hemos basado de una manera especial no solo en documentos originales, sino también en la propia obra inédita. La segunda la constituye la Edición de su Poesía Latina. Precediendo a esta, hemos incorporado una introducción a la obra. Para la edición nos basamos en el manuscrito 3.719 de la BNE. La nuestra es la primera que se fundamenta en dicho manuscrito. Por el hecho de ser autógrafo es el más importante de cuantos hay de la obra de Sánchez Barbero. Para el establecimiento del aparato crítico hemos tenido en cuenta, además de este manuscrito, la existencia de un apógrafo y de un antígrafo. En el manuscrito autógrafo existe un tercio de poesías ya editadas. Hemos incorporado las variantes que dichas poesías presentan en su edición en el aparato crítico. La tercera parte la compone la Traducción, a la que hemos incorporado unas notas extensas y variadas en torno a diversas materias filológicas. Después viene el capítulo de Conclusiones de nuestro trabajo. Seguimos con tres tipos de Índices, y continuamos con la Bibliografía, finalizando con unos apéndices o anexos, que muestran algunos documentos acreditativos de varios aspectos de la biografía. Desde nuestro punto de vista la principal aportación de nuestra Tesis es dar a conocer y estudiar un manuscrito, en gran parte inédito, como testimonio de la obra de Sánchez Barbero.
