Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
CDC Will Collect Doxy PEP Data
The CDC's revised STI Surveillance Network will add data elements for Doxycycline Post-exposure Prophylaxis (Doxy PEP) as part of a three-year revision request for SSuN. The revision is part of SSuN Cycle 5 (2024–2029) covering 15 state and local health jurisdictions.
Patients May Be Contacted For Short Interviews
People diagnosed with gonorrhea or who visit participating STI clinics may be asked to take brief interviews or surveys. In 2023 there were 187,833 gonorrhea cases in the 11 Strategy B jurisdictions, about 7% (13,148) were randomly sampled for enhanced investigation, interviews are estimated at 10 minutes each (totaling about 1,083 burden hours), and clinic patient surveys will include about 3,000 patients at 5 minutes each (250 burden hours).
De-identified Data Sent Securely; Burden Hours Reported
Data managers in participating clinics and health departments will transmit fully de-identified records securely to CDC via the Secure Access Management System six times a year. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 7,237 annual burden hours for the revised collection, a decrease from the previously approved 7,510 hours.
