Abstract: The Enhanced STD Surveillance Network (eSSuN) is a network of local and state health departments (10) who perform active surveillance and provide detailed information on demographic characteristics, behavioral risk factors, and clinical history 1) on persons who attend participating STD clinics and Family planning/ Reproductive health clinics in one of the 10 cities around the US and 2) on a random sample of persons diagnosed with gonorrhea within the participating SSuN jurisdictions. This information will enable public health officials to understand important characteristics of persons tested, diagnosed, and treated for STDs, inform and guide state/local and national programs and policies for STD control, and identify and evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions to reduce STD morbidity.
