Standardized behavioral surveillance for HIV/STD prevention is crucial. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed core behavioral questions to improve local program development and data consistency.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • HIV/STD prevention programs increasingly rely on behavioral indicators.
  • Current HIV/STD behavioral data comes from diverse sources but lacks standardization.
  • This limits the utility of data for local program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a standardized core set of behavioral surveillance items for HIV/STD prevention.
  • To enhance the utility of behavioral data for local program planning.

Main Methods:

  • A working group at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was formed in 1997.
  • Core items were selected based on existing systems, literature review, cognitive testing, and pilot-testing.
  • A draft of sexual behavior questions is available for public review.

Main Results:

  • A core set of behavioral surveillance questions for HIV/STD prevention is being developed.
  • Standardization aims to improve data comparability across different surveys and surveillance systems.
  • Additional questions on drug use and HIV testing are in preparation.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized behavioral surveillance is essential for effective HIV/STD prevention program development.
  • The developed core items will facilitate consistent data collection and analysis.
  • Public feedback is sought to refine the surveillance tools.
