  • Description:
    Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) remain one of the most critical public health challenges facing the United States (U.S.), with approximately 20 million new STD infections occurring every year. Nearly half of these new infection occurs in young people ages 15-24.

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) STD surveillance data shows that there are higher rates of reported STDs among some racial or minority populations when compared to rates among whites. Health disparities in STDs are linked to a complex blend of social determinants that influence which populations are most severely affected by these diseases. Health equity entails focused efforts to improve the health of those who experience social or economic barriers to achieving health.

    The Community-based Approaches to Reducing Sexually Transmitted Diseases (CARS) initiative is funded by the Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention (DSTDP) in the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program was established in 2011 to support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of innovative projects that: 1) Reduce STD disparities; 2) Promote sexual (personal) health; and 3) Advance community wellness.
