CDC announces study of STD reporting system.

Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced a pilot study to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the existing STD Surveillance System. The study will be conducted in 1995 and will involve medical practitioners in the states of Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma. The study will be conducted by Abt Associates Inc of Cambridge, Massachusetts in conjunction with the Massachusetts General Hospital. Information from this study will be used to identify corrective strategies that facilitate the reporting process. Providers are strongly urged to participate in this study.

The evolution of the CDC HIV prevention capacity-building assistance initiative.

As the HIV/AIDS epidemic neared the end of its first decade in the late 1980s, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized the disparate impact on racial and ethnic minority communities. In response, a program was initiated to build capacity to prevent the further spread of HIV and other STDs in these communities. Since that time, the program has expanded in scope, intensity of efforts, and funding. Today, the CDC's Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Initiative serves communities across the nation by building community, organizational, and HIV prevention program/intervention capacity designed to reduce the number of new HIV infections among at-risk populations. This article focuses on the history and evolution of these efforts, lessons learned, and how these were used to develop the current, more responsive system. A conceptual framework is presented that describes the taxonomy of CBA services designed to (1) enhance organizational infrastructure; (2) enhance HIV prevention interventions; (3) strengthen community capacity; and (4) strengthen community planning. It includes language and definitions, approaches and mechanisms for delivering capacity-building services, and a Web-based request-and-referral system that serves as the foundation for tracking, monitoring, and ensuring the delivery of appropriate, efficient, and culturally competent CBA.
