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.
