Dear [Program Manager],

The Cloudburst Group, LLC is currently working with the CDC to assess the value, need, gaps, and impact of strategic partnerships between territorial and local health departments (LHD) with the highest STD morbidity (syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea) and their STD clinical partners.

We have attached the interview guides so that you are familiar with the types of questions we would like to ask regarding your local STD programs’ strategic clinical partnerships. We are particularly interested in attracting individuals such as program managers, STD coordinators and data managers/epidemiologists who are responsible STD program and data management and have knowledge of STD clinical partnerships.

Please provide the name and contact information for the 1-2 STD coordinators and 1 data manager/epidemiologist at [add high morbidity LHD here] that you suggest and return this information by replying to this email to [email protected]. Your completion of this information is entirely voluntary and takes approximately 20 minutes. There are no known risks or direct benefits to you from participating or not participating, but your responses will help Cloudburst Group identify individuals who can provide more feedback. No unique identifying information about you or the individuals you provide below will be published in any form or shared beyond the Cloudburst Group staff collecting this feedback. Also, the contact information will be secure and not shared.

Thank you for providing us with the contact of targeted staff from your local health department who can provide feedback about STD clinical partnerships. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] or 301-385-6693.
