The United States has the dubious distinction of leading the
industrialized world in overall rates of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), with 12 million new cases annually. About 3
million teenagers contract an STD each year, and many will have
long-term health problems as a result. Women and adolescents are
particularly vulnerable to these diseases and their health
consequences. In addition, STDs increase the risk of HIV
transmission. The Hidden Epidemic examines the scope of sexually
transmitted infections in the United States and provides a critical
assessment of the nation's response to this public health crisis.
The book identifies the components of an effective national STD
prevention and control strategy and provides direction for an
appropriate response to the epidemic. Recommendations for improving
public awareness and education, reaching women and adolescents,
integrating public health programs, training health care
professionals, modifying messages from the mass media, and
supporting future research are included. The book documents the
epidemiological dimensions and the economic and social costs of
STDs, describing them as "a secret epidemic" with tremendous
consequences. The committee frankly discusses the confusing and
often hypocritical nature of how Americans deal with issues
regarding sexuality?the conflicting messages conveyed in the mass
media, the reluctance to promote condom use, the controversy over
sex education for teenagers, and the issue of personal blame. The
Hidden Epidemic identifies key elements of effective, culturally
appropriate programs to promote healthy behavior by adolescents and
adults. It examines the problem of fragmentation in STD services
and provides examples of communities that have formed partnerships
between stakeholders to develop integrated approaches. The
committee's recommendations provide a practical foundation on which
to build an integrated national program to help young people and
adults develop habits of healthy sexuality. The Hidden Epidemic was
written for both health care professionals and people without a
medical background and will be indispensable to anyone concerned
about preventing and controlling STDs. Table of Contents FRONT
