From the Paper:

"Cowdery and Pesa's study attempts to correlate data culled from a representative sample of women with HIV to their quality of life in an effort of facilitate greater health promotion by clinics and practitioners. The study takes into account demographic and social variables as well as clinical variables in determining the quality of life of these women. The main findings of the study are that the multiplicity of quality of life in terms of health dimension scores can be narrowed down into statistically significant parameters. In my opinion, the study presents a positive step forward in aligning patient needs with clinical and professional services not just in terms of morbidity and mortality, but also in terms of quality of life support."
