Capacity of Rural Counties to Address an HIV or Hepatitis C Outbreak
Link
Description
Examines data from 20 states potentially at risk of a human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
outbreak to determine which services local health
departments (LHDs) provide to help identify or address HIV
or HCV. Examples of relevant services include HIV testing,
substance use services, and infectious disease
surveillance, among others. Includes rural/urban
differences in LHD services and staff, LHD partnerships and
collaboration, and demographic characteristics of at-risk
counties.
