Challenges • Budget Cuts • County contracts cut by 8% in 2008, 10% in 2009 = reduction in local STD services • Restrictions on Travel • Loss of Staff • State budget restrictions impact federally-funded initiatives • Laboratory Capacity • State laboratory serves primarily as reference lab • Limited number of NYS-licensed labs with culture capacity, even fewer perform susceptibility testing • Resource Allocation • Fewer DIS to cover large geographic area or duties not limited to STD • Federal IPP dollars prescribed

  12. Gonorrhea-Rates by Race/Ethnicity: United States, 2003-2007

  13. Gonorrhea-Rates by Race/Ethnicity: NYS Exclusive of NYC, 2003-2007* * These data should be interpreted with caution; 30% of NYS Race/Ethnicity data are missing ** 2006 American Indian Rate not included

  14. Key Terms • Core - Census tract with 50% of morbidity • Adjacent - Census tract with 30% of morbidity • Peripheral - Remaining Census tracts with 20% of morbidity

  15. Key Terms (cont.) • Self Selection - core infected patients are most likely to have selected their partners from the core area. Adjacent cases are most likely to become infected due to exposure with a core resident • Force of Infectivity - the time period between infection and treatment

  16. Characteristics of a Core Area • Small population compared to adjacent and peripheral areas • High population density • Low socioeconomic status of residents • Frequently, but not necessarily minority residents • High number of repeat infection

  17. Gonorrhea Core Epidemiologic Tracts, Monroe County, NYS, 2007

  18. New York State’s Approach to Gonorrhea Partner Services • For transmission purposes all gonorrhea cases are not equal, therefore: • Intensely interview core residents • Only interview adjacent or peripheral cases if resources allow • Target gonorrhea screening to facilities and providers that serve the core population

  19. New York State’s Approach to Gonorrhea Partner Services (cont.) • Interview as many core gonorrhea positive cases as possible, but at a minimum 65% of the total • Target STD clinic services to meet the needs of the core population • Don’t be afraid to “tweek” the typical gonorrhea interview • Look for social network

  20. Evaluation • Reason for Examination • Voluntary / Symptomatic • Screening • Epi Investigation
