Description:
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses surveillance data from state and local health departments to monitor disparities and other patterns in HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and tuberculosis. In this report, health disparities are measured by examining differences in HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and tuberculosis surveillance data with respect to such sociodemographic factors as race/ethnicity, gender, and age. In addition, where possible, disparities are measured by examining differences by sexual orientation and geographic location. This report includes a retrospective review of CDC surveillance data for HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and tuberculosis over the period 2000-2004. This time period was selected because at the time this report was written, 2004 was the most recent year for which surveillance data were available for all diseases. The inclusion of surveillance data from the same time period allows for comparisons between diseases. In addition to an overview of the surveillance data, this report includes information on some of the CDC programmatic, educational, and research activities that have been implemented to address health disparities related to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and tuberculosis. An overview of CDC priorities for future." - p. 1
