 AB    The Observational Data Base (ODB) is a multicenter, longitudinal effort
       of the Community Programs for Clinical Research in AIDS (CPCRA) designed
       to collect HIV-related data on a large number of HIV-infected patients
       receiving primary care from community based physicians and health care
       groups. Over 400 patients from the Addiction Research and Treatment
       Corporation have enrolled in the ODB. Compared to the remainder of the
       CPCRA, ARTC ODB enrollees are more likely to be female, African American
       or Hispanic and to have injectable drug use and heterosexual contact
       with an injectable drug user as risk factors. The ARTC ODB patient
       profile closely resembles the fastest growing segments of the AIDS
       epidemic.
