An infographic designed to help explain the important work of Disease Investigation Specialists
This infographic is designed to help explain the important work of Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) and others who perform contact tracing for STDs. The infographic is meant to be an easy visual to explain this hard boots-on-the-ground work done by member health departments across the county!
The hope is that when those that hold the purse strings better understand the essential work that is done through contact tracing, there may be more support for these programs. NCSD plans to use this infographic to show policymakers how contact tracing for STDs functions and explain how they are pulled into emergency response situations and the impact that has on STD prevention and treatment.
