Effective Interventions

This page is intended for STD programs, community-based organizations, and other groups aiming to reduce STDs.

Sexually Transmitted Disease Supplement Effective InterventionsCDC’s Division of STD Prevention and partners published evidence for the effectiveness of various STD control interventions for today’s STD program staff. In a time with fewer resources and more prevention options than ever before, this information offers a menu of options to help programs identify which interventions best meet their needs.

The special supplement is available in Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

Users may also link to sections of the supplement from the hyperlinked URLs below. In addition to an introduction to the special issue, three of the articles summarize cross-cutting programmatic concerns: assessment, program evaluation, and predicting the impact of interventions. Nine additional articles focus on a mix of traditional and broader STD interventions.
