Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written

    Proposed Project: National Survey of STD Services Provided to U.S. 
College Students--New--The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
plans to conduct a survey of a sample of U.S. colleges asking about 
health services available to students with focus on sexually 
transmitted disease (STD) testing and management. The sample shall 
include a broad range of colleges including 2 and 4 year, public and 
private, and rural and urban colleges to determine under what 
conditions, for which STDs, and how colleges educate about STDs, 
conduct testing and provide partner management.
    STDs have a large economic and health impact throughout the United 
States. Most college students are within the age range with the highest 
rates for STDs (15-24 year olds). Chlamydia trachomatis is the most 
frequently reported infectious disease in the United States with 
prevalence rates of 4% to 18% in 16-24 year old women. Infections with 
Chlamydia trachomatis can result in pelvic inflammatory disease and 
infertility. Many STDs increase the risk of HIV transmission and 
acquisition. Genital infections with herpes simplex virus, human 
papillomavirus, and Trichomonas vaginalis have been reported at 
increasing rates over the last 10 years.
    This national survey will provide data that will broaden the 
scientific knowledge related to STD services and management available 
to students at U.S. colleges. The survey is intended to (a) describe 
health insurance policies of colleges; (b) describe preventive services 
such as health education and condom availability at colleges; (c) 
identify characteristics of student health centers including staffing, 
type of care, and number of students seen; (d) identify possible 
obstacles to accessing STD services; (e) describe which STDs are being 
tested for and what testing criteria are applied; and (f) describe 
current partner services including partner notification practices and 
use of partner-delivered therapy. The total response burden is 
estimated at 455 hours.
