• Description:
  Indian Health Surveillance Report – Sexually Transmitted Diseases 2011 presents statistics and trends for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the United States (U.S.). The initial Indian Health Service Surveillance Report – Sexually Transmitted Diseases, containing data through 2004, was published in November 2006. ; This report represents a unique collaboration and partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Indian Health Service (IHS). AI/AN-specific data provided in this report presents existing nationally notifiable STD data reported to CDC that is analyzed using standard IHS populations and methods. ; The Indian Health Surveillance Report–Sexually Transmitted Diseases 2011 consists of two main parts: the National STD Profile (2006-2011) contains text and figures that provide an overview of STD morbidity among AI/AN in the U.S.; the IHS Area STD Profiles (2002-2011) present STD rates and trends for the 12 IHS administrative areas. ; The surveillance methodology used in this report has served as a model and 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). Such reports are essential for increasing the accessibility and quality of AI/AN health data and play an important role in monitoring disease trends, identifying at-risk populations, and guiding interventions and resources. ; Suggested citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Indian Health Service.
