AB This study examined coping behaviors of people with AIDS, using a large
sample (N = 736) that was both geographically and sociodemographically
diverse. In-person interviews were conducted with people receiving
AIDS-related medical or social services; follow-up interviews were
conducted approximately 11 months later. Factor analyses of 16 coping
behaviors revealed three factors: Positive Coping, Seeking Social
Support, and Avoidance Coping. Respondents with a history of injected
drug use, as compared with gay or bisexual men, had higher scores for
Avoidance Coping and lower scores for Positive Coping. Each coping scale
was significantly related to depressive symptoms in cross-sectional
analyses. In longitudinal analyses that controlled for prior depressive
symptoms, Positive Coping was significantly related to decreases in
symptoms.
