Session: Multilevel Approaches to STD Epidemiology & Prevention
3262.0: Monday, November 8, 2004: 2:30 PM-4:00 PM
Oral
Multilevel Approaches to STD Epidemiology & Prevention
This session explores how epidemiology can effectively deal with the complexities of STD study populations. Presenters will discuss advances in multilevel approaches in the study and prevention of STD and HIV infection; will compare and contrast various multilevel program response and intervention strategies to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections; and will examine the extent and pattern of sexual networks and their relationship to socioeconomic context.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. List all the levels of influence on sexual behavior and STD epidemiology. 2. Describe the multilevel interventions shown to be efficacious in decreasing STD incidence through randomized controlled trials. 3. Describe the socio-cultural context of STD among minorities.
