In this session, the learner will hear about different methods of interviewing in order to accurately determine information regarding STDs and sexual behavior.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) will be able to: 1. Discuss the association between sexually transmitted infections and sexual behavior reporting in audio-computer assisted self-interviewing versus face-to-face interviewing 2. Learn socio-demographic factors are associated with the incidence of food borne diseases 3. Describe two similarities and two differences between the civilian and military reporting rates of adverse events after smallpox vaccination
