Abstract

In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the STD Surveillance Network (SSuN), a sentinel surveillance system comprising local, enhanced sexually transmitted disease (STD) surveillance systems that follow common protocols. The purpose of SSuN is to improve the capacity of national, state, and local STD programs to detect, monitor, and respond rapidly to trends in STDs through enhanced collection, reporting, analysis, visualization, and interpretation of clinical, behavioral, and geographic information obtained from a geographically diverse sample of individuals diagnosed with STDs. To demonstrate the utility of a national sentinel surveillance network, this article reviews the lessons learned from the first three years of SSuN, which, through its enhanced gonorrhea and genital warts sentinel surveillance projects, has proved to be a useful adjunct to routine STD surveillance in the U.S. that can be expanded into other areas of STD public health interest.
