collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.

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 non-responders 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.
