Proposed Project Assessing the Infrastructure for Public Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention Services—NEW—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Annually, there are nearly 20 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in the United States (US) causing an estimated $15.6 billion in direct medical costs. A significant percentage of reported cases of STDs are diagnosed in publicly funded clinics, such as STD clinics that are operated by state health departments (SHDs) and local health departments (LHDs). Additionally, state and local health departments also engage in other essential STD prevention activities such as partner services and disease surveillance. Therefore, it is important to periodically assess the current level of publicly- funded STD prevention services that are offered by health departments in the US. The STD infrastructure survey will aid CDC in understanding the scope of the delivery of timely public STD preventive and clinical services that are provided to reduce the number of newly acquired STDs and prevent STD-related sequelae. There is no national data available that focuses on detailed STD prevention activities conducted by state and local health departments. The purpose of this survey is to periodically, (i.e., every three years) examine STD prevention services provided by local and state health departments. The survey will include all state health departments and a nationally representative sample of local health departments in the US. The local health department sample will allow for estimates by jurisdiction population size and US Census region. The survey contains sections on STD program structure within the health department, STD-related clinical services (local health departments only), partner and other prevention services, and workforce and impacts of any budget reductions. CDC will administer the STD infrastructure survey to all 50 state health departments and a random sample of 668 local health departments from a list of local health departments maintained by the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO). Using a web-based survey, multiple reminders will be sent to nonresponders in order to reach the target of 44 completed state and 334 completed local surveys for each data collection (different respondents per data collection). The total estimated annual burden hours are 238. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
