Subject line: NACCHO Survey Invitation: Assessing STD Programs and Services in Local Health Departments

Dear [Name],

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), with funding and support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of STD Prevention, are conducting this survey to assess the level of publicly funded STD prevention services offered by health departments in the United States. Your participation in this survey will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of publicly funded STD programs and services, and support our ability to track these services over time. Additionally, the information collected will be used to support and promote the role of local health department STD programs.

The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. After beginning the online survey, you can save your responses and continue the survey at a later time, if necessary. We encourage you to preview this [PDF of the survey] before beginning, and to consult with your colleagues, as needed, to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information is provided.

Please use the following link to take the assessment: [hyperlink]. Please complete the assessment by [date and time].

Participation in this survey is voluntary. Data will be reported in aggregate only and reports will not identify specific health departments. Information collected through this activity may be written up for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at national conferences.

Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this assessment. If you have any questions, please contact Kat Kelley, Program Analyst, HIV, STI, and Viral Hepatitis at kkelley@naccho.org or 202-507-4223.

Sincerely,
