A knowledge, attitude and beliefs study was conducted in urban and rural counties of Arizona involving a representative random sample of 600 Hispanics, 308 Blacks, and 297 Native Americans. Bivariate analyses showed that Blacks possessed more knowledge about AIDS, modes of HIV transmission, sympotomatology, safer sex methods, and held more liberal attitudes toward PWA's, gay's and programmatic interventions than Hispanics or Native Americans. Controlling for the effects of income and education level, eliminated these ethnic differences for knowledge, modes of transmission and attitudes, although not for AIDS symptomatology or safer sex methods. The data suggest the need for targeted interventions for Hispanics and especially Native Americans.
