Health Communication: Syphilis Resources ![]() On October 7, 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
other government agencies, and community groups joined together to launch The
National Plan to Eliminate Syphilis from the United States
To this end, a National Syphilis Elimination Communication Plan was developed, which identified three primary target audiences, (1) policymakers, (2) health care providers, and (3) community representatives, and outlined possible health communication strategies for influencing their syphilis-related awareness, knowledge, and behaviors. To more effectively target these strategies, formative research was conducted during 2000-2001, exploring the target audiences' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices (KABPs) regarding syphilis. The methodology, findings, and analysis of this research are included in these reports.
