Data were then weighted to adjust for nonresponse by using predictors of response, including facility size, facility type (public or private), patient race and ethnicity, time since HIV diagnosis and age group [18,19].
One of the hubs for this kind of research is Disaster City in Texas, the most comprehensive emergency response training facility in the world.
