Data Elements Listing
Enhanced STD Surveillance Network (SSuN)
OMB# 0920-1072

Public reporting burden of this collection of facility component information is estimated to average 3 hours per response; these
data elements were developed collaboratively and agreed upon by members of eSSuN and do not include information beyond what
is routinely collected from patients during the clinical visit. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: CDC,
Project Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74, Atlanta, GA 30333, ATTN: PRA (0920-1072). Do not send the completed
form to this address.
