National Coalition of STD Directors*

 

NCSD represents the 65 directors of public health STD prevention programs in U.S. states, large cities/counties, and territories. NCSD provides valuable leadership for strengthening STD prevention programs by advocating for effective policies, strategies, and sufficient resources and by increasing awareness of the medical and social impacts of these programs.
