Tenth (10th) NIJ/CDC National Survey of Infectious Diseases in Correctional Facilities: Tuberculosis Screening, Treatment and Education

摘要

The 10th CDC/NIJ National Survey of Infectious Diseases in Correctional Facilities was carried out by Abt Associates during 2005 with support from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This series of national surveys was initiated in 1985 and conducted annually until 1990. Subsequent surveys were conducted in 1992, 1994, and 199697. Through 1992, the surveys covered only HIV/AIDS. From 1988 to 1992, some tuberculosis (TB) questions were included in the HIV/AIDS survey and, in 1994, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were added to the HIV/AIDS survey and a separate TB survey was carried out (with a separate TB report issued). The 1996-97 survey covered HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB in the same survey and one omnibus report was issued. In 2005 a section on hepatitis A, B and C was added as was a section on disease reporting and surveillance capabilities; the 2005 results will be presented as a set of disease-specific reports and one separate report on surveillance and reporting. From 1985 through 1990, the survey was funded entirely by NIJ. Beginning in 1992, CDC became a co-funder of the work. The 1996-97 update report also included the results of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 1996 survey of HIV/AIDS in prisons and jails.
