• Description:
  The Indian Health Surveillance Report — Sexually Transmitted Diseases 2015 presents statistics and trends for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the United States. This report represents a unique collaboration and partnership between the Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The initial Indian Health Surveillance Report — Sexually Transmitted Diseases, containing data through 2004, was published in November 2006. Additional editions of the report were produced in 2009, 2012, and 2014.
  
  The 2015 Indian Health Surveillance Report — Sexually Transmitted Diseases consists of two main components presenting 2011–2015 data: The National STD Profile, which contains text and figures that provide an overview of STD morbidity among AI/ANs in the United States; and the IHS Area STD Profiles representing rates and trends for the 12 IHS Administrative Areas.
  
  The surveillance methodology used in this report can serve as a model framework for analyzing AI/AN specific data for other nationally notifiable diseases (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) and for other priority health conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, mental health). Reports on these analyses are essential for increasing the accessibility and quality of AI/AN health data and play an essential role in monitoring disease trends, identifying populations at increased risk for disease, and guiding the use of interventions and resources.
