HIV/AIDS: Global Perspectives, Implications and Solutions

In this lesson from the MAPS GIS program at Lane Community College, students will estimate the impact of HIV/AIDS on world populations. They will look at adult and child case numbers as well as look at the effect of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the existing public health care systems. Students will also make predictions about future impacts on the hardest hit regions based on their GIS data research. This resource includes student worksheets, an answer sheet, and a list of definitions of terms used on the map.
