STD PCHD Overview and Logic Model

PS19-1901 Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention and
Control for Health Departments (STD PCHD)
CDC’s Division of STD Prevention supports 59 state, local, and territorial health departments to conduct STD surveillance,
prevention, and control through the PS19-1901 STD PCHD cooperative agreement.

Purpose and focus
▪
▪

To prevent and control three major STDs: chlamydia (CT), gonorrhea (GC), and syphilis
To contribute towards the following national aims:
Elimination of congenital syphilis
Prevention of antibiotic resistant gonorrhea
Reduction of primary and secondary syphilis

▪

Prevention of STD-related reproductive health problems
Effective response to STD-related outbreaks
Reduction of STD-related health disparities

Priority populations include adolescents and young adults, men who have sex with men, and pregnant women

Strategies
▪
▪
▪
▪

Represent a core program of STD prevention and control for health department STD programs
Are organized into five Strategy Areas, with surveillance as the top priority, followed by disease investigation
and the promotion of CDC-recommended clinical prevention services
Affirm the need for recipients to tailor and prioritize their work to their own context
Promote collaboration with CDC-funded HIV programs, National Network of STD Prevention Training Centers,
and National Coalition of STD Directors, and various other federally-funded and non-governmental partners at
national, state, and local level

Administration
▪

Total 2019 funding was $92,500,000, with awards ranging from $300,000 to over $7,000,000, calculated from a
funding formula based on population and STD morbidity

▪
▪
▪

Recipients include the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Los Angeles (CA), San
Francisco (CA), Baltimore (MD), Philadelphia (PA), New York City (NYC), Chicago (IL)
Period of performance runs 5 years, from January 1, 2019-December 31, 2023
DSTDP’s Program Development and Quality Improvement Branch (PDQIB) administers the cooperative
agreement, in collaboration with numerous other Branches in the Division
