Abstract:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is looking for improved ways to collect complex, and highly sensitive, public health surveillance data. The Sexually Transmitted Diseases - Laboratory Test Methods Survey (STD-LMS) was developed to replace the traditional STD mail survey. The web-based STD-LMS offered distinct advantages over the traditional mail survey technique including,reduced time and cost of conducting the survey and avoiding the often error prone and tedious task of data entry.
