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.
